EcoTimber: Why You Should Invest in a Renewable Flooring Solution

 
EcoTimber makes beautiful floors, comparable to wood and bamboo. The company, founded in 1992, brings constructive change to the way woodland bionetworks are administered worldwide by offering wood products that come from the highest standards in sustainable forest management. Below are some of the reasons why you need EcoTimber flooring:
 
  1. EcoTimber uses highly renewable resources. For example, they use Moso bamboo, which matures in just 5-6 years of being planted. The bamboo is plantation grown and does not need any pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. It meets LEED qualifications for MR 6 – Rapidly Renewable Materials. In addition, the flooring carries a lifetime residential warranty against construction defects.
 
  1. EcoTimber preserves hundreds of thousands of acres of forest. The Richmond-based company gets its wood and bamboo from the U.S. and international sources committed to forest regeneration. The Forest Stewardship Council endorses each plank EcoTimber sells, and the fact that its wood is “good” is central to the company’s mission. All wood the company sells is cut using forest management planning.
 
  1. It is the first company in North America to put forward bamboo flooring made with formaldehyde free adhesives as a regular product. Both with its products and within its main operation, the company remains “green,” on the cutting edge of environmentally friendly production. To claim that honor, it harvests wood and bamboo in a sustainable manner, and it keeps VOC-laden adhesives out of the air.
 
EcoTimber has supported forest protection and healthy environments since its inception by selling wood and bamboo products produced in a sustainable manner that are totally free from added urea-formaldehydes and other damaging VOC’s. Friendly service, competitive pricing and high quality – these are commitments of the company. They specialize in wood products from forests that are licensed in accordance with the policies of the Forest Stewardship Council in addition to reclaimed and salvaged hardwood.
