Comment on What IS a green floor? by CoolGreen

We know exactly what you mean. What really makes us crazy here is toxic chemicals in products that the government agencies permit to go undisclosed. Flooring contractors are no better at telling their customers how dangerous some products are…..even if they are labeled as green. Take Epoxy Coatings for instance. Most epoxy coatings require the use of respirators for the applicator but most contractors and applicators disregard that important information. It is pretty scary when a product like epoxy says that if you get it on your clothes, you need to throw them away in an agency approved manner. Even though it breaks down in water and lots of fellows wash up their tools in the sink, it is also extremely toxic to marine life (AND HUMANS.) The companies that make it have the cute little trick of selling products like this is a “two unit” sale. That means that if they sold it in a larger container they would have to tell you what is in it. Packaged in two units it is covered by what they call the “small package exemption” for disclosure of chemical ingredients. We are being gradually poisoned by the chemical companies and responsible contractors are the first step in fixing the whole industry.

There are some flooring suppliers who claim to provide green flooring systems just to satisfy the needs of their patrons but in reality their products are not genuinely eco-friendly. As one who is part of the flooring Houston industry, I understand this predicament and support the naturally green flooring products that should be sold or purchased then installed in homes to make living in a home sincerely better and nit just because it's a fad.

Well… there are options for you. If you can manage the sweat equity of busting out the tile… and sometimes you can get lucky and it will just come up… then you can possibly use the click together type of Marmoleum… Marmoleum Click…which comes in 12×12 tiles and 12×36 planks. It could potentially be installed over a rough floor like you would have after busting out the tile if you were able to include a padding to equalize the texture. If the mortar will scrape off the subfloor then the click’s cork backing can eat up a little bit of irregularity. We have some great closeouts still available at http://www.coolgreenfloors.com

Hi Chris. Thanks for the info regarding your Marmoleum products today! Since the vintage camper vibe seems to be in the air--how about a category for campers? I will be diligently working on my entry and will post again later. My favorite part of the website (so far): the answer to "can I take Click Marmoleum with me?" on the FAQ page---inspired!
