Why Choose Eco-Friendly Flooring

Selecting environmentally responsible flooring goes beyond aesthetic appeal to deliver meaningful benefits for your home, health, and budget. Eco-friendly options provide exceptional performance while minimizing environmental impact.

Environmental Benefits

Eco-friendly flooring significantly reduces your home's environmental footprint. Our sustainable options include materials like bamboo, which reaches maturity in just 3-5 years compared to hardwoods taking 20+ years. This rapid renewability means less deforestation and habitat destruction.

Many of our green flooring selections incorporate recycled content, diverting materials from landfills. Cork flooring, for instance, is harvested from bark without harming the tree itself, allowing for continuous harvesting every 9-12 years.

Health Advantages

Eco-friendly flooring creates healthier indoor environments with fewer harmful chemicals. Traditional flooring can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that contribute to respiratory issues, headaches, and allergic reactions.

Our natural flooring options emit minimal VOCs, improving your home's air quality immediately after installation. Cork and linoleum contain natural antimicrobial properties that inhibit mold growth and allergen accumulation. Many sustainable floors are hypoallergenic, making them ideal for families with allergies or asthma. Unlike synthetic materials, they don't trap dust or pet dander.

Cost-Efficiency

While eco-friendly options may have higher upfront costs, they deliver superior long-term value. Most sustainable flooring lasts 15-25 years or more with proper maintenance, reducing replacement frequency and associated expenses.

The durability of materials like bamboo and cork translates to stability in high-traffic areas. Many eco-friendly options resist scratches, dents, and moisture damage better than conventional alternatives.

Types of Eco-Friendly Flooring

At Sacramento Flooring Company, we provide a diverse range of eco-friendly flooring solutions that combine sustainability with style and durability. Our selection includes rapidly renewable materials, responsibly harvested woods, and innovative products made from recycled materials.

Bamboo and Cork

Bamboo flooring offers exceptional durability while being one of the most sustainable options available. This rapidly renewable resource matures in just 3-5 years, compared to hardwoods that take decades to grow. We offer both solid and engineered bamboo options in various colors and finishes.

Cork flooring provides natural cushioning and sound insulation, making it ideal for kitchens and playrooms. Harvested from the bark of cork oak trees without harming them, this material is naturally resistant to mold, mildew, and pests.

Both options require minimal underlayment and contribute to your home's structural integrity while providing warmth and comfort. We ensure all our bamboo and cork products meet rigorous environmental standards and contain low or no VOCs.

Sustainable Hardwoods

We source our hardwood flooring from forests certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). These certifications guarantee responsible harvesting practices that protect forest ecosystems and wildlife habitats.

Our sustainable hardwood collection includes domestic species like oak, maple, and walnut. We also offer reclaimed wood from old barns and buildings, giving these materials new life while preserving their unique character and reducing demand for new timber.

All our hardwood floors use non-toxic adhesives and finishes with low VOC emissions. This improves indoor air quality compared to conventional flooring. Our installation team ensures proper underlayment and installation techniques to maximize the structural integrity and longevity of your sustainable hardwood floors.

Recycled and Reclaimed Materials

Our recycled flooring options include innovative products made from repurposed materials. We offer carpeting made from recycled plastic bottles and nylon, which diverts waste from landfills while creating durable, stain-resistant floor coverings.



Reclaimed timber flooring from dismantled structures provides unique character and historical value. Each board tells a story through its natural patina and markings that can't be replicated in new materials.

For more contemporary spaces, we provide composite flooring made from recycled wood fibers and polymers. These materials offer exceptional durability and water resistance while requiring minimal maintenance.

Maintaining Your Eco-Friendly Flooring

Proper maintenance is essential for preserving the beauty and extending the lifespan of your eco-friendly flooring. We recommend establishing a regular cleaning routine specific to your flooring type to ensure optimal performance.

For bamboo and cork floors, use a damp mop with a mild, eco-friendly cleaner. Avoid excessive water as these natural materials can be susceptible to water damage if exposed to moisture for prolonged periods.

Reclaimed hardwood requires gentle care with specialized wood cleaners. We suggest using microfiber mops rather than abrasive tools that might scratch the surface.

Signs Your Eco-Friendly Floor Needs Attention:

• Floor squeaks when walked on
• Cracked tiles or planks
• Musty odors (potential hidden moisture)
• Unstable fixtures or loose sections
• Discoloration or warping

If you notice water damage, act quickly! Excessive moisture can compromise the structural integrity of eco-friendly materials. We can help assess the damage and recommend appropriate solutions.
