Huh, very interesting. It looks beautiful. One day when I finally get around to remodeling the kitchen of my condo in Henderson I’ll consider this. The homes in the picture look stunning. Makes me wish I had a kitchen like that!

Interesting indeed. It’s good to see alternatives like these are been taken to go green. Personally I thing an interior with such green effects can be really eye catching and safe as well.

You really have to watch out for flooring that ads formaldehyde. Not that they lie and say it’s not in there, but most companies wont tell you directly that it’s in there so as mentioned you really have to ask and/or do your research.

I have just come across this site and have found informative and very interesting.

Thank you for sharing this it was very interesting, I have to say out of all the things that you listed I would go for the stone, yes its cold but one can always have under floor heating installed, for me its something that one can really use with out hurting the planet and that is my biggest concern, is the other stuff is just as good, and yes for the people that like the wooden floor look I think going the bamboo route would be their best option.

Also dont forget to use eco friendly carpet and floor cleaning materials not the traditional toxic.

I have been seeing more and more Bamboo flooring in homes that I am selling recently. It certainly does look sharp. I am still partial to good ole hardwood even though it is not a green product. Love some of your photos you have taken in this post! I love the look of stone as well.

Those floors look fantastic. Some very useful flooring tips.

As mentioned stone is a finite resource which takes considerable amount of energy to mine and transport. A product of interest is decorative imprinted concrete overlay to create a stone or brick finish on virtually any underlying surface.

Why remove the old tired concrete when you can overlay it at a fraction of the cost of natural stone?

These are beatiful floors. I would happy with any of them. The bottom line is cost. Is it more and is it worth being responsible for just one part of your home.

Like what you had said in your post bamboo is a great choice for wood flooring especially in kitchen, wood flooring adds up a little soice to the kitchen style plus the fact that this material is “eco friendly”, well “green materials“ are much handy to use and much affordable too.

This post was a real treat for me, all these designs look perfect and I particularly loved that brown rough hardwood floor, it’s completely awesome and so different from what I am used to.

Great photos in this post which help to underline your points about these different floorings. I think alot depends on where you live, ie the climate, and also the style of your home, and what style suits both.

When in Rome do as the Romans do. In Vegas we use Tile in everything. Something to consider is the local environment and tile stays cool in the heat and can be easily cleaned (no harsh chemicals). You have to build in the way that works for the climate you live in.

bamboo seems to be the material of the future. organic, fast growing, strong. I even heard about bamboo being used for surfboards; due to its strength to weight ration and the fact that it is such a longlasting material. so definately a goer for flooring.

This is fascinating stuff. I grow timber bamboo and I’ve always wondered how they end up with something that looks like a hardwood floor. Are the techniques they use to process the stuff really green. Green building materials do seem to be the most ethical way to build right now.

Very beautiful flooring, this interior material will impress anyone. I would not use cork or rubber in my home, might be good for offices. For the Home I would use Linoleum or stone.

Eco friendly floor is finally starting to come around. I am really impartial to the bamboo flooring, personally and I am going to be installing it in my apartment.

I work for a trade show company and flooring is actually the biggest form of environmentally purchasing and usage that is being implemented in the industry. All of the carpeting is recycled fabric pieces and the wood is of course recycled.

Both wax and oil are completely natural floor finishes and Floor Sanding Experts would recommend the use of these products where possible. Not only are these products safe for you, your family, your home and the environment they offer the softest and most mellow of finishes leaving your floor able to breathe naturally. Wax or oil finishes would require 2 applications.

Wool carpets are another source of green enviromentally friendly flooring alternatives. One might want to ask themselves how each material will react to water since the average person experiences at least one flood in their life.I have also run across a carpet made primarily of corn.

Going green is the trend and I hope it stays that way. Thank you for this list of green resources. I am going to look deeper into each of these materials and see why these products are considered ‘green’.
