The Future of Flooring: Why Sustainability Matters
Renovating with the planet in mind isn’t just solar panels and chunky insulation—it's the quiet stuff under your feet. Floors run through every room, cop the sand after a beach day, the dog zoomies, and the dropped saucepan. Choose well and they lower energy use, tame indoor air nasties, and keep looking decent long after the paint dries. For many homes, laminate and hybrid boards carry the load with a lighter footprint than slow-grown hardwoods. The trick is tracing the whole story—forest to factory to hallway—and picking makers who actually show their homework on sourcing and chemistry. If you’re shortlisting, anchor around eco friendly flooring choices; it keeps style and sustainability on the same page rather than in separate budgets.
