Green FAQ
Global awareness has led to a growing market demand for environmentally friendly or “green” building design, best practices and products. No single standard yet exists for determining whether any particular product or construction practice is “green.”
Reclamation
With today's compliance issues, as well as our elevated awareness of environmental issues, disposal of old flooring isn't as simple as ripping it up and throwing it in a dumpster. Great Floors® offers complete recycling and reclamation services as an integral part of the complete flooring project process.
