Many of us are trying to find ways to make our homes greener and more energy efficient. Here are some eco-friendly flooring options and what they can offer your home.

Natural Wool Carpet

Wool is a sustainable material that can provide a warmer feeling to your floor and home. A throw rug or room sized rug can help protect your floor, and you can choose from many different designs and styles. Natural wool is a classic material for carpets that will offer you many years of durability, warmth, and style.

Synthetic Carpets

Many synthetic carpets are made of nylon or plastic water bottles that have been recycled. These rugs can be stunning while making a positive impact on the environment. Synthetic carpets are easier to keep clean because they don’t have natural fibers that can harbor mold and other allergens. Best of all, synthetic carpets are easy to clean.

Vinyl

Don’t think that just because you have seen vinyl that is cracked and peeling that there is not a better vinyl option. Luxury vinyl tile offers homeowners the convenience of easy to clean vinyl in a variety of patterns. Vinyl is easier to install than some forms of floor covering and the durable finishes available today make it an excellent choice for a variety of applications.

More Efficient Heating and Cooling Costs

High-quality green furnishings can help reduce the environmental impact your home has. In fact, it is proven that energy efficient blinds and curtains can help reduce your heating and cooling bill so that over time they save you money. Carpeting can help your home feel warmer.

High Value

If you are invested in real estate and want to up the value of your property then green and eco-friendly furnishings and floor coverings can help you achieve this. Green homes rent and sell for more than average homes.
