Your Floor and the Environment

Choosing hardwood flooring is one of the wisest environmental decisions you will ever make. In addition to having an unlimited lifespan, hardwood flooring is made from one of our greatest renewable natural resources: despite the felling of millions upon millions of trees to make wood products, our forests are even healthier today than they were a century ago.

Hardwood floors also play a major role in maintaining a healthy living and working environment.

According to a report from the Environmental Protection Agency, six out of every 10 households today contain contaminants known to aggravate allergies and asthma, from which one in five North Americans suffers to at least some extent. Hard surfaces such as hardwood floors are your best defence against many of these irritants. Hardwood flooring is easy to maintain and contains no fibers that can capture dust, pesticides or other irritants, in contrast to carpets, a magnet for dust, one of the most frequent triggers of asthma.

Enjoy peace of mind knowing that your Wickham  flooring will cause no long-term damage to the environment. It is produced entirely in North America, where forest management and timber production are subject to the strictest environmental laws and regulations in the world.

As hardwood flooring manufacturers, we clearly benefit from helping to sustain and renew the forests that provide our raw materials to ensure that we can continue to produce hardwood flooring for many years to come.
