GreenFloors
is a major source for environmentally friendly flooring products and
related information. We are committed to protecting our natural resources
through responsible environmental stewardship. From the products we
offer, to the methods
we use to help customers recycle, GreenFloors is working
to help ensure a healthy environment for future generations.
We
have been in the flooring business providing residential and commercial
services as a full service store since 1972. Over the last several years
we have completed thousands of residential, commercial, and governmental
flooring projects in the Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C. metro area.
In 1991 we started featuring environmentally friendly products. This
portion of our business has grown to become GreenFloors.

For The Consumer:
We
provide expertise along with
concise information to facilitate the environmentally conscious
consumer, as well as the interior design community, in selecting floorings
that are most beneficial to our environment and to their needs. Much of
the information available in the marketplace is misleading thereby making
some flooring products or programs appear to be more environmentally
responsible than they actually are. For example, if a specific carpet is
advertised as made with recycled fiber content, what does that mean?
There are recycled fibers from post industrial material (carpet left over
on the factory floor) and post consumer recycled content (old carpet being
thrown away). So which of these materials is more beneficial? Post
consumer recycled content is preferable because it is more likely to be
diverted from our landfills.
GreenFloors
also specializes in environmentally responsible commercial and government
floor design programs such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design) and other rating programs. Our expertise and meticulous
information will assist you in finding the correct commercial or
governmental flooring that will meet your requirements. We will help
develop specifications for any flooring project and, with our precise
information, you can find the flooring that meets your needs. We will
assist in finding the green attributes you desire as well as important
specifications such as the flooring fire rating, static propensity,
depreciation schedules, and usage recommendations.
GreenFloors
does the research for you:
We
attend a multitude of trade shows and conferences concerning flooring and
the environment; scrutinize more than 30 publications monthly for new
products, product updates, services, and information; and research the web
for the most current trends.
GreenFloors
also maintains memberships and dialogues with industry related
trade associations, partners, leaders in the business, manufacturers, and
officials. We clarify information and ask questions of environmental and
flooring leaders of the future to discover what upcoming environmental
issues will be important. |
