Eco Showroom- “Green Flooring in our Showroom”

We are fortunate to have many friends at the Hoots Group.  This year we made much progress on our Eco Showroom amidst all of the changes in the construction world.  3 companies in particular were especially gracious with their time and materials.

Bamboo and Reclaimed Flooring

Since our showroom was built in the early 1900′s we wanted to be as true in the lobby and main meeting room to the materials that were available at that time.  A local vendor (J.R. Park & Co.) sourced some reclaimed Heart Pine flooring for us to display.  It makes a very favorable first impression as guest come into the building.  What is nice about this flooring as well is that we can match the Heart Pine flooring in older houses since the wood has aged and is from the same time period as many of the houses in ATL.

J.R. Park & Co. also sources some bamboo for our architecture studio.  It is a variable strand that is heat compressed to give it a unique color.  Since it is strand it does not have the identifiable look that typical bamboo flooring has and most people think that it is some sort of hardwood.  The price point is about the same as entry level oak flooring, so it is affordable as well.

FSC Certifiable Woods

InsiDesign was kind enough to let us display their cherry wood flooring next to our green bathroom and in our loft.  It was harvested from one of their sustainably managed Forest in Indiana.  It is a little over 3″ wide and has a very warm cherry look that did not need to be stained.  It’s natural look gets many compliments as well.

Advanced Patterns and fine installations

Another local vendor (Floors & Fine Interiors) did an amazing install of oak herringbone that directs people into the upstairs design studio where Waldenour creates sustainable spaces.  The floor was finished off with a natural finish that is available in very Low VOC as well.
