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.

CLASSICS
EcoTimber® engineered flooring has all the benefits of laminated flooring—including superior stability and easy installation—and the look of solid wood. In engineered flooring, a surface layer of high-quality hardwood is bonded to two wood sub-layers. Cross-ply construction makes the product more stable than solid wood. Our wear layers are among the thickest on the market: 3.6mm (just over .14"), allowing many more sandings than the typical engineered floor's 1/10-inch "veneer" layer.
EcoTimber engineered flooring can be nailed down like solid flooring, glued directly to concrete, or "floated" (gluing the planks to each other and not to the subfloor). Because they are prefinished, these products do not have to be sanded and finished on the jobsite, and are easy and inexpensive to install.
Our engineered floors feature a state-of-the-art UV-cured aluminum oxide finish that is among the most durable available, making our product ideal for demanding commercial as well as residential applications.
