Flooring - You Have To Walk On Something

Your floors can be made from a huge variety of materials. There are hundreds of different types of tiles, plus real hardwood, engineered wood, laminate and bamboo. There's also cork flooring, which is renewable and very green. Bamboo is a fast growing grass and that is classed as green and renewable because it grows so fast and can be farmed, and it's not a tree. Recycled wood may be used in floors and this is a great way to have your floors be really antique, without cutting down anymore trees. Recycled wood flooring may be made from refinished barn wood or even reclaimed lumber from the bottom of a lake or river. The latter has a real patina to it because nature's had a chance to work on it for many years! Engineered wood is real wood but it has a top layer of hardwood and then several plies of other wood underneath. Because it's engineered it can be made to look antique, or like any other type of wood, and in a lot of exotic colors.
