FSC Certified Engineered Wood Flooring – Sustainable Wood Floors

FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council® which is international non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting responsible forestry.

When you buy FSC Certified wood floors, you can be sure you are buying ethically sourced wood and thus helping the environment. For more information on how to make an informed choice, see guidance on choosing FSC-certified products.

All our engineered wood flooring products are responsibly sourced.

We are fully committed to supplying only responsibly sourced timber flooring.

We are audited each year by the Timber Trade Federation on their Responsible Purchasing Policy and also by the FSC and PEFC auditors. You can see our percentage of FSC and PEFC certified material since 2013 and the very small percentage of material that was not FSC or PEFC certified still had the relevant EUTR certificate so we can guarantee that all our wood flooring comes from sustainable sources.

FSC supplies of Oak for 2013 were 90%, the balance was Canadian Maple sourced from The North west of Canada and for our American Walnut we had an EUTR report compiled by Bureau Veritas Certification, you can see a copy here.

In 2014 95% of all our wood flooring supplied was FSC as we only recently starting sourcing Oak form Central Europe where it will be PEFC certified. The balance of 5% has a EUTR certificate from the supplier.

Wood Flooring costs less. Wooden & Bamboo Flooring are the most environmentally friendly flooring products in the construction industry. The Timber Trade Federation issued a very interesting document on the use of timber in construction. Some of the contents have been reproduced here, see our environmental policy.
