Natural Flooring: A Sustainable Flooring Solution

If you are looking for a soft and luxurious floor covering it is easy to look for traditional carpet. For a durable floor you might choose an elegant hardwood floor. However, there is another type of flooring available which will offer you all of these properties.

Natural floor coverings are produced from sustainable plant fibres and at Reform Flooring we have chosen to work with some of the leading natural floor manufacturers in the industry. They source these materials from all around the world, including:

• Jute: An herbaceous plant which flourishes in the damp and humid regions of Asia.
• Coir: A fibre which is obtained from the husk of a coconut.
• Sisal: A leaf fibre which is sourced from the Agave Sisalana plant and found in many parts of the world, including Eastern Africa, Brazil and China.
• Wool: Having been used in the making of carpets for over 5,000 years, wool is a fibre which comes from animal origins.
• Seagrass: Grown in China and Vietnam, seagrass is a type of grass which is produced when the paddy-fields are flooded with sea water.

Depending on the type of flooring you are looking for, these materials go into making a large number of hard-wearing, impermeable and luxurious floor coverings. To ensure we have the largest selection available, we have chosen to stock natural flooring manufacturers such as:
