When updating your home’s interior, the floor design is a good place to start. If you are concerned about the eco-friendliness of your home, there are many green flooring options for you to choose from. These recycled materials are in many ways identical to their traditional counterparts, especially where durability and beauty are concerned.

At Interior Designs in Holmen, WI, they carry many flooring products to meet every homeowner’s needs. For those who are trying to make their house a greener place, they suggest The Greenworks™ line of products from Mohawk®. This flooring company currently recycles up to three billion pounds of waste a year to create more than 500 products. Below are a few of their latest creations.

A Guide to Choosing a “Green” Interior Floor Design Product From Mohawk

Airo™ Carpet

Airo—a soft floor covering with unified backing—is made almost entirely from recycled polyester. Unlike traditional carpet designs, it does not require stretching, so it is easy to install, and while it is made to last for a long time, at the end of its lifespan, it can easily be ground down and repurposed once again.  

SolidTech™ Vinyl Plank or Tile Flooring

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to have the beauty of hardwood flooring combined with the durability and low-maintenance characteristics of vinyl, wonder no more. SolidTech is the best of both these worlds. It’s also the most natural hard-surface flooring design ever created by Mohawk.

SmartStrand Naturals™ Carpet

This stain-resistant carpet is made entirely from renewably sourced polymers. This means they require much less energy to manufacture. These fibers also give this carpet its stain-resistant abilities so there is no need to spray them with chemicals that will only wash off after a few years anyway.

EverStrand™ Carpet

Mohawk recycles up to 5.5 million bottles made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) each year, more than anyone else in the country. The majority of those bottles are used to create their EverStrand carpet, which is stronger and more stain resistant than similar PET products on the market.
