There are a lot of great reasons to go green.

Maybe you want an all-natural home free of contaminants, to protect your familys health. Maybe you want to use renewable materials to protect the planet. No matter your motivations, Patrice Raven and Garry Lozon at Kelownas Impression Floors are here to help.

A lot of people arent aware of the eco-friendly flooring options available, Lozon says.

And you dont have to sacrifice comfort or quality to go green. Here are four flooring solutions that will help your home in more ways than one:

1. Super-soft carpets made from recycled plastic bottles

Impression Floors is excited about Tryesse Carpets, and not just because theyre eco-friendly.

Its really soft, Lozon says, And its made to last.

Recycled plastic bottles are spun into a long, continuous filament, which means theres no shedding.

The really cool thing is that it doesnt absorb like other carpets. It cleans really easily.

Pets, wine, and other stains dont stand a chance on this carpet. People dont believe them at first, but Raven encouraged one customer to take home a sample.

She tried it at home and then bought a whole bunch!

2. Natural New Zealand wool carpets

Not only is wool renewable and all-natural, it also absorbs household air pollutants and is naturally stain-resistant.

You can sink your feet into luxury and know that at the end of your carpets lifespan you can save it from the landfill because wool is biodegradable.

Wool carpets are more expensive, but for customers who have the budget its a worthwhile investment. Wool is a quality product and at Impression Floors well install it with care. All our customers want is a quality product and a job well done, Lozon says.

3. Ethically sourced hardwood flooring with an all-natural finish

Impression Floors only carries hardwood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, which means the wood comes from responsibly managed forests. Their eco-friendly wood products are free of chemical contamination and wont release pollutants into the air.

Green flooring also uses an all-natural oil finish.

You never need to sand them, Lozon says, You just oil the high-traffic areas when the texture starts to change. You dont have to do the whole floor.

4. Luxury vinyl

More and more vinyl is made from recycled materials, and its built to last the less frequently you have to replace your flooring, the better for the planet. Impression Floors works with some Canadian manufacturers who are focused on reducing their energy consumption during production.
