Sustainable Hardwood Flooring: A Better Floor, A Better Future

At Textures Hardwood Flooring, we believe that great design should be both timeless and thoughtful. Our sustainable hardwood flooring options not only enhance the look and value of your home—they also support a healthier lifestyle and a healthier planet. 

Why Choose Sustainable Hardwood Flooring? 

When you choose hardwood floors, you’re investing in a renewable natural material that brings warmth, depth, and character to any space. From the forest to the floor, every plank tells a story—whether you prefer the refined elegance of Prime/Select Grade or the organic charm of Character Grade, our expertly crafted flooring is made to reflect your unique design vision. 

Stabilized for Performance—and the Planet 

At Textures, we specialize in engineered hardwood flooring, or as we call it, “stabilized” wood flooring. This construction method uses less slow-growth hardwood per plank while maintaining the beauty and integrity of solid wood. Stabilized flooring is dimensionally stronger, more resistant to humidity changes, and requires less raw material—making it an even more sustainable and responsible choice for the modern home.

The Shift Toward Sustainable Home Design 

More than ever, homeowners are choosing eco-friendly building materials that support their values and long-term wellbeing. Unlike synthetic products such as vinyl or traditional site-finished wood floors—which often involve heavy sanding, chemical sealants, and longer installation times—our stabilized hardwood arrives prefinished with low-VOC, water-based finishes. This eliminates the mess, minimizes off-gassing, and ensures a cleaner, healthier installation process from the start. 

Hardwood floors are known for their long lifespan and low maintenance. When properly cared for, they can last for generations—making them one of the most durable and sustainable flooring options available. Their classic appearance transcends trends, while their ability to be cleaned and maintained with ease makes them ideal for everyday living.

Healthier Homes Start from the Ground Up 

We’re deeply committed to offering products that support healthy indoor air quality and environmentally conscious living. The majority of our flooring options are: 

  • Made from renewable and responsibly sourced wood 
  • GreenGuard Gold Certified for low chemical emissions 
  • CARB Phase 2 Compliant to meet the strictest air quality standards 

We also use low-VOC, water-soluble materials throughout our installation process—so you can feel confident that your flooring is as clean as it is beautiful. 

Responsibly Sourced, Thoughtfully Made 

Textures partners exclusively with mills that practice responsible forestry and ethical sourcing. From harvest to final finish, every floor we create reflects our dedication to sustainability, craftsmanship, and long-term impact. 

As proud members of the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA), we follow rigorous industry guidelines for quality and sustainability. While the NWFA offers detailed grading systems, we simplify the experience for our clients with two key categories: 

  • Prime/Select Grade – Clean, consistent, and refined 
  • Character Grade – Full of natural variation, personality, and charm 

Both are crafted to meet the highest standards for design, performance, and environmental responsibility. 

A Better Floor, A Better Future 

Sustainable choices shouldn’t mean compromise. With Textures Hardwood, you get craftsmanship, character, and consciousness—all in one timeless surface. Whether you’re designing a new build or renovating a legacy space, our floors bring sustainable luxury home.
