Environmentally Friendly Flooring for North Jersey, NJ

Glass Tiles

Glass bottles are used to make beautiful glass tiles for tile walls, accents and backsplash options. This renewable option is an affordable solution for kitchens, bathrooms and other areas in residences from coast to coast. Glass tile has advantages like other environmentally friendly products, and is simple to care for as well. Mold won't attach to it in damp environments and is non-porous, so it won’t stain. Floor Coverings International® has a broad range of glass tiles that come in various colors, patterns, and finishes suitable for any style.

Bamboo Floors

At Floor Coverings International®, we carry bamboo flooring, which is another flooring option that is gaining in popularity. Bamboo flooring is made from compressed grass, creating a floorboard with a hard surface that is durable, easy to maintain and is easy for our team to install. It is a sustainable flooring product because bamboo grows a lot faster than trees and can be used and planted again in a shorter time frame. Our Design Associates will help find the best bamboo flooring that works in your house no matter your decor.

Cork Flooring

Cork is relatively new to the flooring realm and is harvested from the bark of the cork oak tree. Since the tree itself isn't used, the bark grows back, making it a perfect renewable source. Floors made of cork have attributes that minimize allergens in the home and are naturally a repellent for insects. It is relatively flame resistant and, while requiring consistent sealing, is simple to clean and maintain. Cork's versatility allows it to accept paints and stains easily, so it goes with any aesthetic or color scheme. Its popularity is further enhanced by its sound characteristics and reputation for having some cushion. An additional benefit to using this in your space is our cork flooring is fabricated to last up to 25 years, making it incredibly economical.

Linoleum

The industry has has gotten better with more design options available for homeowners who want linoleum floors. Ours is made from tree resins, pigments, wood flour, cork dust, linseed oil and ground limestone. This advanced combination of materials makes this kind of floor more fire resistant and repellant towards water. It’s environmentally friendly while giving you many different styles to pick from and having the ability to hold up to foot traffic for a long time.
