What are my immediate benefits?
- Healthy living environment
- No toxic chemicals
- Cleaner air
Because the price is comparable to other wood flooring there is no monetary savings in this project. However, you and your kids will be thankful for a cleaner and healthier environment. Wood floors are created by using a bonding agent (glue) and, in case of glued down application, by applying a glue when laying the floor. Most timber companies use an industrial glue that is cheap but full of formaldehyde. Better companies use a formaldehyde reduced glue. Both, however, lead to off-gasing and add to an unhealthy living environment. EcoTimber uses appoxies and glues that are virtually formaldehyde free.

BAMBOO FLOORING
EcoTimber® bamboo flooring is made from bamboo plantations -- not from wild habitats. Bamboo is a highly renewable resource, harvestable only four to six years after being planted. Its low moisture absorption properties make it ideal for humid climates and applications where moisture might pose a challenge for other types of flooring.
EcoTimber Bamboo flooring is made with a Low-VOC adhesive that easily meets the strict European E1 standard for indoor air quality.
Solid Bamboo Flooring is composed entirely of Bamboo. These 3-5/8"-wide planks can be nailed to plywood or glued to concrete subfloors.
Engineered Bamboo Flooring consists of a sandable wear layer of Bamboo on top of a backing made of plantation Pine and Fir. This can be nailed to plywood, glued to concrete, or floated.
