Sustainability Benefit:

Made from post-industrial, by-product poplar material sourced from the furniture manufacturing and pulp industries, the TIMBER™ line (“FSC-Recycled”) epitomizes sustainable product innovation, and highlights the idea of taking industrial discards, and making them better than their traditional counterparts. As with the TIMBER Natural, the wood strands are sorted, cleaned, coated, and compressed, before being cured and milled into either planks, or wear-layers if it is destined for “engineered” material. The “teak” color is achieved through a topical stain, and as a color, it effectively mutes the inherent color variation found in the Natural. The rich and consistent grain pattern subtly pops on the finished floor surface.
