Local is Green Here at Atlantic Hardwoods we offer many flooring alternatives that are environmentally sound. We encourage you to purchase wood that is grown, harvested and milled in Maine. Local is Green to support our economy and reduce the carbon footprint in transportation.
We offer Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified hardwood flooring from Maine Traditions see: www.Mainetraditionsflooring.com ... plus many other mills and manufacturers. Cork is another favorite because the oak cork tree is not killed during harvesting! The oak cork tree lives to approximately 120 years old and may be pealed for cork flooring every nine to eleven years. We offer Natural Cork please see www.usfloorsllc.com.
When you consider finish for your flooring we carry low VOC polyurethanes from Bona Kemi www.bonakemi.com in water base or an emulsion. These finishes are now produced to match and can exceed the hardness on an oil base polyurethane.
Many customers are concerned with formaldehyde in plywood; we offer No Added Formaldehyde plywood. This means no formaldehyde is added to the products during manufacture. The plywood industry has experience a sharp rise in request for this product and it is now readily available within one week of order.
