Is hardwood a “Green” material?
Absolutely. Shamrock Plank floors are made from North American hardwoods, a completely renewable resource. Our hardwood suppliers use environmentally responsible logging practices that result in an overall increase in hardwood trees each year, and minimize the impact on natural habitats. Shamrock’s milling and manufacturing facilities minimize wood waste by utilizing precision cutting equipment and using or recycling all wood byproducts. Because well-maintained hardwood floors can last over a century, they do not need to be replaced as often as other flooring materials. At the end of their useful life, hardwood floors are reusable, recyclable and biodegradable.
