Solid
wood flooring uses a 3/4 inch solid portion of the tree as
compared to
MAGNEWOOD which only uses either 1/8 or 1/4 of solid
wood while
maintaining the same surface appearance.
Did
you know that it's necessary 3 to 4 trees to manufacture wood flooring
for just one room?
Engineered
Hardwood flooring can use the same wood wear layer as our
MAGNEWOOD
but most manufacturers use wood or plywood base construction, which
requires that important steps need to be taken to ensure that the bond
between veneer and base is very strong.
Magnewood
Green
Flooring does
not have these issues at this step because the base is a core of
stone/wood pulp composite and therefore is extremely stable.
Our
Green
Floor It
is made of 75% recycled material, all of the
wood is sourced from sustainable forests and it is on its way to
receive the highest
LEED
certification score (The Leader in Energy and
Environmental Design), proving to be "the greenest" wood flooring
among the
green floors in the market today.
