Wood Flooring from Sustainable European Forests

Posted on: 19th April 2017

Many of our customers want to be certain that the companies they use when they’re making improvements to their homes and businesses have sustainable environmental policies. That doesn’t just mean suppliers and installers like us, they also want to be certain that the manufacturers of the products we install have a responsible approach to the environment. This is especially true of solid wood flooring. 


Natural Solid Wood flooring


Three Environmentally Friendly Companies


We only source wood from responsible companies. Our solid wood flooring is manufactured in Europe. The three companies who manufacture and supply the wooden floors that we install – Boen, Junckers and Love Floors – all get their wood from sustainable forests.


Certified Wood


You don’t have to take our word for it and we don’t take theirs. All the wood is tracked from forest to factory to storeroom by the Forest Stewardship Council. This body only gives their stamp of approval to companies that maintain the sustainability and biodiversity of the forests they are using as a source for their timber.


Highest Quality


We want our customers to enjoy only the highest quality solid wood and engineered wooden floors. We also want them to be certain that the timber for their wooden floor hasn’t been ripped out of an Indonesian rainforest. Partnering with FSC-certified European manufacturers ensures that both these desires are met.


An Investment in your Home


As well as being an environmentally friendly flooring, wood flooring is also an investment.  A recent survey by pollsters Populus revealed that 64% of interviewees thought that real wood flooring was a desirable feature that would make them more likely to buy a property.


There’s loads more information on our solid wood floors on the flooring pages of our website.
