Sustainable Production & Waste Reduction
Sustainability
SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION
Efforts in increasing our resource efficiency, cleaner and safer production, and overall corporate responsibility offset our carbon footprint and minimize our environmental impact. In all of our business practices, we maintain an environmentally conscious outlook in order to bring you high quality and sustainable floors.
TRANSPORTATION
Floor material production, beginning with the processing of raw materials, happens in our own facility in Canandaigua, NY.
We are a regional supplier with our manufacturing facility being within 500 miles of most of our customers.
By both producing and installing our floors, we cut a significant amount of emissions out of distribution, as opposed to buying our flooring materials from an outside supplier.
MATERIALS AND RESOURCES
Our flooring technologies have allowed us to use predominantly solvent-free, 100% solid materials. These contain zero volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), and do not release harmful emissions into the atmosphere.
