Carpet can help reduce active dust in the home.

Carpet

When carpet flooring is recycled, it is reused to make a variety of different products including roof shingles. Many of the mills use a natural fiber-backing attached with less toxic adhesives too! Most people don't realize that carpet is the biggest filter in your home. It contributes to a healthier air quality by absorbing dust and dirt in the air. If you are especially sensitive to dust in the home, be sure to look at a carpet that is short and tight. Let us help you in the selection process.

The luxury vinyl we install is a floating floor. This means there are little to no chemicals involved during installation. This product also has superior clean ability to reduce chemical cleaners used in your home. Simply use water and scrub! Our luxury vinyl tile is entirely waterproof.


Cork flooring is very highly regulated to insure it's sustainability.

Cork

Cork utilizes a part of the tree that is otherwise useful to the flooring industry. Legally, the bark on a tree is not permitted to use until the tree reaches 25 years old. Until the bark is used, the tree lives a long life keeps our air clean while doing it! The finishes on a cork floor are mostly water based rather than chemical based as well.

Hardwood floors are easy to clean, making dust accumulation minimal unlike other flooring options.
