NEWS ARTICLE ARCHIVESEco Flooring Systems BT Bamboo in 6 Star Green Rated BuildingThe Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) rated 39 Hunter Street in Sydney's CBD as 6 Star Green Star which is the first heritage building in Australia to receive this rating. As one of the ESD initiatives in sustainability, BT Bamboo classic laminated flooring was chosen for parts of the floor area in this extensive refurbishment project which has recently been completed. BT Bamboo in the Carbonated Amber Vertical wide board has been used in the construction of the stairs and access panels in the entrance of the building. A stunning parquetry effect has been created with the panels. BT Bamboo is also installed as a direct stick floor in the lobby areas and stairwells of the seven commercial levels. Not only is BT Bamboo a sustainable product, but it was chosen as an eco preferred content material to improve indoor air quality with low VOC. The Green Building Council of Australia has organised tours in June where the architects Jackson Teece along with JCK outline tie design strategies for the project and the details of the ESD initiatives.
