Environmentally Friendly Flooring





		Bamboo is a rapid growing grass and unlike wood can be harvested every 3-5 years, therefore sources are replenished at a phenomenal rate. This makes bamboo flooring very environmentally friendly. Installing a bamboo floor leaves you with a floor covering which is very durable and easy to maintain. Bamboo offers a unique style which can work with almost any room decor, and gives a warm, welcoming appearance. Every effort is made to ensure the bamboo flooring conforms to E-1 European Standards.



	Marmoleum is a natural product made from linseed oil, woodflour, pine rosin, jute and limestone. As long as the sun shines and the rain falls we can continue to produce Marmoleum. Once installed, Marmoleum is hygienic and anti-static. After its long life, it is completely biologically degradable. And so, in the end, the product will give its materials back to nature. As a naturally hygienic floorcovering, Marmoleum is different from most floors. It is made from natural materials, is bacteriostatic, biodegradable, and provides no hiding place for dust mites. It is also easy to clean, hardwearing and comes in a vast range of colours and designs. Marmoleum is the ideal floor for a healthy home.

	In the late 1800's a Danish law required vigorous replanting schedules and responsible reforestry harvesting. This law is still in effect today and has lead to a significant increase in forrested land for the past 100 years. To ensure the continued success of this positive trend, Junckers has recently become a member of the new Pan-European Forest Certification (PEFC) - a third party organization certifying that timber is harvested in accordance within international guidelines on sustainable forestry.



	PEFC - Pan European Forest Certification When you buy a Quick-Step® floor, you are acquiring an extremely environment-friendly floor. More and more often people are opting in favour of wood to build and decorate their homes. But at the same time we all want to maintain our forests. That is why forest certification has been developed: a new tool to improve the sustainable management of our forests. Recently Quick-Step® obtained PEFC forest certification. So we pride ourselves on the fact that you can enjoy the most beautiful wood patterns without having to damage our forests.



	PERGO® was the first laminate flooring to receive the Nordic Ecolabel – the Swan, which is based on an evaluation of the environmental impact of a product during its whole life cycle. This label certifies that a PERGO floor is a sound environmental choice. Pergo was also the first flooring company to be certified according to the environmental standard ISO 14001. In addition, PEFC certification ensures that all the wood and paper products are manufactured using raw materials from renewable forests.
