Eco-Friendly Flooring for Belleville, IL

Glass Tiles

Glass tiles are made from recycled bottles to create beautiful tiles that are perfect for walls, floor accents and backsplashes. This sustainable solution is perfect for spaces like kitchens and bathrooms but could be used wherever you’d like. In addition, glass tile has the benefit of being low maintenance. The outside is watertight so it won’t stain, and it is impervious to mildew when in damp conditions. We carry a wide variety of glass tiles in many different colors, finishes and designs, so you’ll be able to find something that works best for your space.

Bamboo Floors

Bamboo floors have become another popular option with homeowners across the nation and in the Belleville, IL, region. Bamboo flooring is a hard surface alternative that is produced out of compressed grass. It is strong, easy to maintain and easy for our professionals to install. At Floor Coverings International®, we carry a good stock of bamboo flooring so that you can take advantage of this eco flooring solution. Bamboo grows fast and can be harvested quickly, which makes bamboo flooring a very sustainable option. You can talk to our Design Associates about our bamboo flooring and see how it will look in your residence.

Cork Flooring

Cork floors are another great eco flooring solution. This kind of flooring is manufactured with the bark of the cork oak tree. Because it’s only the bark, the tree itself is not used and the bark can grow back, so cork floors are an ideal flooring material. An advantage homeowners have found with cork flooring is that it has antimicrobial qualities that can decrease allergens and it repels insects. Cork flooring is typically sealed, which makes it easy to maintain. It can also be painted or stained, which means you could make it work with any aesthetic. The cork flooring solutions we carry at Floor Coverings International® are manufactured to last for approximately 25 years. You can’t go wrong with cork floors.

Linoleum

Linoleum flooring is another sustainable solution that has made great progress in multiple designs. This updated version of linoleum is made from tree resins, wood flour, pigments, linseed oil, cork dust and ground limestone. Because it contains cork, it has fire-resistant qualities and the linseed oil helps it repel liquids. Floor Coverings International® carries a wide selection of linoleum flooring and can present them to you from your own home or business through our Mobile Flooring Showroom®. Linoleum is becoming a popular option again because it is a sustainable product, it comes in an array of bright and vibrant colors, and is a maintainable, eco-friendly floor solution. An additional advantage to linoleum flooring is it is resilient and will hold up in areas with a lot of foot traffic.
