🌱 What Makes Flooring “Eco-Friendly”?
The selection of eco-friendly flooring requires choosing materials and brands which protect the environment without sacrificing performance.
Sustainable flooring becomes more environmentally friendly through the following features:
- Recycled content or natural, renewable fibres The flooring material should have low VOC emissions to provide better indoor air quality.
- The product should last for an extended period because this characteristic reduces waste throughout its lifespan.
- Responsibly sourced materials
Our top brand recommendations include:
- Amtico produces its products in the UK while minimising waste during manufacturing.
- Ted Todd uses FSC-certified real wood in their products.
- Westex produces wool-based carpets through sustainable manufacturing methods.

- Cormar Carpets produces British-made wool and easy-care ranges from their facilities.
- Brockway Carpets produces 100% British wool carpets through sustainable manufacturing processes.
- Westex Carpets offers vibrant wool-based carpets which maintain their colours well through time.
