Recycled Wood Flooring Expands Green Interior Design to New Heights

Interior designers benefit from using Staybull Flooring™ in their Modern & Contemporary designs due to:

·         Wider planks and longer boards lower buying cost & decreases install time

·         Can be installed over concrete for expanded design flexibility

·         VOC Free – No formaldehydes, benzene, or any other toxic solvents are used

·         Eco-Shield™ Floor Finish – offers high abrasion resistance and meets Europe’s REACH standards

About Staybull Flooring™

Staybull Flooring™ is an eco friendly wood flooring alternative to bamboo, engineered and other hardwood flooring. The Staybull Flooring™ lines of recycled flooring are produced through an innovative reclamation and manufacturing process that fuses strips of wood together.

Traditional wood flooring has been known to cusp or twist. Staybull is said to be resistant to that phenomenon. They also claim it is made from non toxic glues that emit no VOC’s.

Lilith Fair  donates a dollar from every ticket sold to socially conscious charities and business start-ups. Some of those recipients include Grameen America, a microfinance bank that metes out loans to entrepreneurs living below the poverty line and To-Go Ware, which makes reusable food carriers and bamboo utensils.
