Engaging with a green agenda is now a priority for businesses as they evolve with the changing times. Our eco flooring solutions mean going paperless is no longer the only way you can achieve a greener business. By choosing our eco-friendly flooring you’re creating an ethical identity, so your peers and clients know environmentally where (and on what) you stand.
Our eco-friendly material guide is here to help you choose a flooring option that encompasses all your needs:
Linoleum
Widely regarded as a durable, eco-friendly flooring option because of the natural and renewable materials that go into making it which include linseed oil, cork dust, pine resins and wood flour. Linoleums natural components mean that if it were to end up in landfill, it would naturally biodegrade and release little to none harmful gasses.
Rubber
Made predominantly from recycled tires, rubber flooring is regarded as one of the greenest floorings on the market to date. It has been awarded some of Europe’s most prestigious eco certifications and is regarded as a tough, stain-resistant and low maintenance flooring option
Solid Wood
Attractive and extremely long lasting, we offer a huge variety of woods and stains all ethically sourced and biodegradable. If your wood surface scratches or dulls, our solid wood flooring can be restored to its original state simply by being sanded down and refinished – an option that also leave behind zero harmful waste.
Laminate
Unique in its ability to be lifted and replaced in sections, laminated flooring is considered one of the least wasteful flooring options. Over time flooring will naturally experience wear and tear in areas of high use. Laminate flooring offers the eco solution of being able to replace these specific worn-out sections, rather than having to remove the entirety of the flooring.
Vinyl
Unlike many other strong and durable plastics, vinyl can be easily recycled. Because of the durability of the material, products made from it have a long-life span and naturally resists mould. This non- porous material cannot harbour harmful gasses, meaning it will not release harmful toxins into the environment.At Bradbury Flooring, we use Recofloor to recycle old, existing floor covering and offcuts of new flooring.
