Amtico International

The following product is from Amtico International's stone flooring collection and is concrete. The concrete flooring can be used in areas that have up to high traffic, seeing that concrete is a highly durable product it can take quite a bit of abuse. The concrete has a very clean and sleek look that does not distract from the rest of the aesthetics of the interior. It is available in a variety of colors and the colors are all kept in a warm tone so the concrete does not appear so cold. The concrete can be laid out in squares, rectangles or can be combined with other materials as well.

Amtico uses PVC which is readily recyclable and has been tested and proved to be much gentler on the enviornment. Also, Amtico has made it a main point of their company to make sure that their products do indeed meet the Floorscore standard for indoor quality.


Product Specs:

Size: 12" x 12"; 12" x 18"; 12" x 24"; 18" x 18"

Shaggy Sheep

The following product comes from Flor, a flooring company that prides itself on having some of the lowest VOCs in the industry. The carpet is part of Flor's natural fiber collection and called Shaggy Sheep. The carpet is available in three colors and according to the Flor website, "Super soft and ultra plush, Shaggy Sheep's 100% wool provides luxurious softness and depth that your toes will love. Available in four sumptuous and all-natural color ways (no dying here), Shaggy Sheep gives you a seamless look for a sea of wooly comfort." Be forewarned, the rug being a completely natural fiber will shed some and will have to be "raked", however, this will decrease over time.


Shaggy Sheep is best for areas with medium traffic due to the fact that it is all natural and does need to be handled gentler than man made materials. This cut pile carpet is to be installed with FLORdots (a Flor company adhesive) in a monolithic manner. The backing of the carpet is the only element that is not all natural and it is made of GlasBac Tile and is 34% post industrial.


The tiles are 19.7" x 19.7" and are 1.75 inches thick and are $9.66/sq ft. The availability of the carpeted tiles depends on the demand for the product at the time.

Cork Flooring

The following product comes for DuroDesign's cork flooring collection. The flooring comes in six different patterns and 54 colors and it is cut very easily in order to create different patterns and looks depending on what the client requests. Cork is a great alternative for flooring because it is a renewable resource that does not harm the trees while it is harvested. The unique aspect of DuroDesign's cork is the fact that their flooring comes 100% from recycled wine corks.


Cork absorbs sound and impact and it also stays warm. One downside to cork is the fact that it is a softer material and leaving a very heavy piece of furniture on it for a prolonged amount of time will cause it to dent. The cork can be applied in two ways, as tiles or as click-together floating floor.


The flooring is finished with MP765, a high-traffic water-base polyurethane system. There is no off gassing when this product is used to finish the flooring and the VOC content is very low due to the fact that it is water based. The flooring qualifies for the following LEED credits
  • LEED® MR Credit 4.1 and 4.2: Recycled Content
  • LEED® MR Credit 6: Rapidly Renewable Materials
  • LEED® EQ Credit 4: Low-Emitting Materials

Depending on the demand for the flooring at the time as well as the amount the client requires determines the availability and pricing of it.
