Environmental Benefits of Timber Flooring by Preference Floors

Whether you're selecting flooring for a new construction or renovation, timber flooring offers many advantages. Preference Floors details the benefits of timber flooring:

  • Less energy is used during the manufacturing process - Timber floor manufacturing requires the least amount of energy and emits less carbon than other flooring materials.
  • Timber floors function as carbon storage - Since half the dry weight of wood is carbon, choosing timber floors means providing a place for carbon to live, preventing its escape into the environment.
  • Longevity - Compared to carpet or other flooring materials, timber is a hard material that can last a lifetime with little to no need for replacement.
  • Better energy-efficiency - Timber's cellular structure makes it a low conductor of heat resulting in better thermal performance. These superior insulating properties mean less use of heating and cooling systems which contribute toward lower energy costs.
  • Good effect on health - Studies have shown that timber flooring offers certain health benefits such as lower stress, heart rates, and blood pressure levels. The natural material also does not harbour allergens unlike other types of flooring, particularly textiles.
  • Easy to maintain - Timber floors are naturally strong and can easily be refurbished throughout their life cycle. They are also easy to clean, requiring no wet mopping, no hard scrubbing, and no steam cleaning compared to other flooring materials.
