It is dye-infused prior to compression allowing for unique and varying grain patterns that are not stained on, but consistent throughout the board. This allows for the color and grain pattern to remain intact through as many sanding and refinishing cycles as desired. The material is still our classic Strandwoven Bamboo (two and a half times as hard as oak and exponentially more stable) as well as our Aluminum Oxide-free finish, but it is a unique and quite striking way to get exotic wood looks without sacrificing those exotic trees, many of which are fairly rare. Ebony Sandalwood, Thai Teak, and Wenge are the three we have out so far and a new one, Sapele, has just recently emerged from our research and development process. An engineered format is in the testing stages and we look forward to nearly endless possibilities for styles and designs in the years to come. Come check in out in the Bamboo-Flooring section of our website!

Bamboo flooring is warm and radiant.

Sustainable Flooring is a manufacturing co-operative specializing in sustainable and environmentally friendly flooring. We go to great lengths to ensure that our products are of the finest quality. Produced from environmentally sustainable materials, they will enhance indoor air quality, and improve the comfort and ambiance of the building environments to which they are added.

Cork flooring is soft under foot, and elegant to the touch.

We offer access to the highest quality bamboo, cork, and “sustainable” wood products available anywhere, incredible pricing, and unmatched support and knowledge.

We have gained competitive acceptance over the years by creating excellent products, having competitive pricing, and staying ahead of “design” developments. Our products grace the floors and walls of many iconic institutions in the US, from educational institutions like Stanford University and the Clinton Museum, to hotels like the Ritz-Carlton, to service companies like Starbucks, to retail players like REI. When quality matters, we offer the affordable “green” flooring alternative.

Sustainable Flooring supports the LEED rating system, both with longstanding membership, as well as through the fact that all of our products are LEED-compliant. We also support numerous city, county, and state run “green building” programs, as well as are members in the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA), and other organizations specifically designed to further the support and acceptance of “green” building and remodeling.
