Hardwood floors are quite possibly the most environmentally sound flooring option on the market today. This is a truly sustainable resource because when trees are cut for hardwood flooring, they make room in the forest for smaller trees to thrive and grow.
When adding new, exotic woods to the product base, the harvesting practices of that particular country are strongly considered. The Passport: Australia line is manufactured in the United States from select timbers imported from plantations in Australia. All timber harvested is controlled under the Regional Forest Agreements derived from this policy. The floors are cut from sustainable forests, managed through an Environmental Management System that ensures continuous and sustained improvements in environmental performance.
In essence, no matter which Tarkett floor you choose, you're getting a superior product from one of the world's truly renewable natural resources.
