What makes doing business with us different? We tell the truth about the garbage sold as flooring. For example:
Vinyl, laminate, and LVT are all the same petroleum based products.
Does anyone remember in 2018 when the plastic straw got stuck in the sea turtles’ nose? The video went viral and people were (justifiably) horrified, and some places banned plastic straws. Ok, so the industry tells us we (planet) use 500 million plastic straws per day, which is a very big number. However, in 2024 5.8 billion square feet of plastic floors were sold, and in 5 -7 years they will be in the local landfill. Remember, this stuff cannot (or isn’t) recycled meaning in just a few years we will be dumping 15.9 million sq feet per day into those landfills, as they are replaced. So, since 1000 square feet of plastic floors equates to ½ million plastic straws; we are dumping the equivalent of 9 billion plastic straws per day into the ground.
We have been sold a bill of goods, and been led to believe that laminate and LVT are somehow benefiting the planet because real trees were not used.
The truth? This floor pictured below will outlive a dozen laminate ones; in fact, it will be the last thing salvaged before the house falls down one day. Probably repurposed as a table top or accent wall, but it will not be in a landfill leaking chemicals into our groundwater.
