In a Nutshell: More Benefits of Solid Hardwood Flooring

Solid hardwood flooring has been put into buildings for centuries. It is timeless, versatile and elegant. But, there are so many more benefits- read below for the second half of our list of the benefits of solid hardwood flooring in a nutshell.

  • Trees are cut and planted sustainably when lumber suppliers use certified forestry practices, making sure there will be forests for the generation to come.
  • Even when cut and turned into flooring, lumber will store carbon dioxide indefinitely.
  • Due to factors like overseas production, transportation, energy, heat, and adhesive use, the carbon footprint of engineered hardwood is twice as high as domestic solid hardwood flooring.
  • Because of its organic nature, solid hardwood flooring will decompose or be repurposed once its lifecycle has ended.

If beauty, sustainability, and environmental responsibility are all important factors for you, solid hardwood flooring is the best choice for your space.
