Green Gem of the Week: Staybull Flooring™

In the past, if you wanted to use wood for your green home, you were forced to use reclaimed flooring that was salvaged from old barns and warehouses. Reclaimed flooring really shines in traditional design aesthetics where a more rustic look is desired. What if you’re aiming for a newer look? One that fits in your modern, contemporary, or transitional green home?

Enter Staybull Flooring™. With over 20 species of recycled flooring to choose from, you can install eco-friendly wood and end up with a green floor that also has many benefits.

With the arrival of Staybull Flooring™ up to 98% of a log can be used to create a product that is both eco-friendly and more durable than solid flooring.

Here are the Top 5 Benefits Staybull Flooring provides:

• VOC Free – No formaldehyde’s, benzene, or any other toxic solvents are used
• Eco-Shield™ Floor Finish – offers high abrasion resistance and meets Europe’s REACH standards
• A multi-faceted look – See Brazilian Cherry, Mahogany, Oak, and Maple in a whole new way
• Edge-glued planks ensure that your floor won’t cup, twist, or crown
• Wider planks and longer boards lowers buying cost & decreases install time

How does Staybull compare to other eco-flooring options?

Sure, there’s bamboo, but your colors options are limited and there’s that nagging problem of VOCs many brands are plagued by. There’s FSC wood flooring available, but because of high demand it’s very expensive. Engineered flooring is another option, but ultimately doesn’t solve the problem that no one wants to talk about – the tons of wood left behind by mills that produce any hardwood-based flooring.

You see, typical flooring production uses between 40-60% of usable material. This means that there are literally tons of wood sitting in landfills. Or worse, these piles are doused with gasoline and burned. Clearly, the releasing carbon emissions into our already compromised atmosphere isn’t helping matters.

Help us do our part. With every successful installation of Staybull Flooring™, more wood gets saved being needlessly wasted, or burned.
