When choosing a floor, most of us usually consider factors such as durability, ease of maintenance, attractive color. However, we ignore factors such as ecology and hygiene. A sustainable floor that is also hygienic can be more attractive, durable and easy to maintain.
A natural and ecological floor has an additional dimension in the form of healthy and hygienic advantages. This type of choice prevents allergens from accumulating in homes, reducing allergic reactions and improving air quality. Several healthy and hygienic flooring options are available, all eco-friendly, made from renewable energy sources.
Bamboo floor
Bamboo is a renewable material that is a type of pre-finished wood, making the flooring production free from harmful chemical processes, as well as providing a more durable and superior finish. Another important feature of bamboo flooring is that it is economical and easy to maintain. In addition, it is a truly ecological floor that will stand out from other traditional solutions.
Cork floor
The bark of the cork oak is used to produce cork flooring, without having to cut down the tree. Cork grows back. The lifespan of the cork oak is over a hundred years, but the tree has to grow for twenty years before it can be felled. Cork is usually used by wine companies to produce corks. The remaining pieces from the production process are tightly bound together to produce cork flooring. Sealants used by manufacturers prevent the accumulation of dust, dirt and water in the floor grooves.
Recycled glass floor
Recycled glass flooring is also a popular choice as a healthy and hygienic option. Recycled glass has no voids, grooves or pores, which prevents the accumulation of dust, pollutants and allergens.
Solid wood floor
Solid wood flooring, made with low emissivity adhesives, eco-friendly finishes and sealants, is the right option for a healthy and sustainable floor. In addition, solid wood flooring is also a great choice for households with children and pets.
Marmoleum
Marmoleum is another natural option for a healthy floor. Manufacturers of this type of solutions use only natural raw materials for the production of tiles. Solvent-free and low-emission adhesives are used to join the materials. This flooring option is available in a variety of styles, including common tiles and long plank flooring.
