Why Flooring Matters in a Healthy Home

Flooring covers a large surface area and directly impacts indoor air quality. Many synthetic flooring options such as vinyl, laminate, and chemically treated carpets release harmful toxins and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air. These pollutants can contribute to allergies, respiratory issues, and long-term health concerns.

Natural flooring materials are free from toxic chemicals, making them a safer and healthier option for modern homes.

Benefits of Choosing Natural Floors for Your Home

1. Improved Indoor Air Quality

Natural flooring options emit minimal to zero VOCs. This helps maintain clean indoor air and reduces exposure to harmful chemicals—especially important for children, elderly family members, and pets.

Low-VOC natural floors support better breathing and overall well-being.

2. Hypoallergenic and Easy to Maintain

Unlike carpets that trap dust, pollen, and allergens, natural hard floors are easy to clean and naturally resistant to mold and bacteria. A simple sweep or damp mop is enough to keep them hygienic without the need for harsh cleaning chemicals.

This makes natural flooring an excellent choice for allergy-sensitive homes.

3. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Flooring Solutions

Choosing natural flooring supports environmentally responsible living. We use seagrass, jute, sisal, and wool—natural, renewable fibres with a low environmental footprint and minimal processing.

Seagrass is rapidly renewable and naturally resilient, requiring no chemical treatments
Jute is biodegradable, pesticide-light, and one of the most eco-efficient natural fibres
Sisal is durable, breathable, and sourced from renewable agave plants
Wool is renewable, biodegradable, and naturally improves indoor air quality
Coir is made from coconut husks, a natural by-product, making it highly sustainable and hard-wearing

Our wool, coir and jute ranges are GoodWeave® certified, supporting ethical production, fair working conditions, and a child-labour-free supply chain.

Sustainable Underlay

Our underlays are carefully chosen to support healthier homes and lower environmental impact. We use Dunlop recycled rubber underlay, EnviroLay, and underlay from our own trusted suppliers—all made using recycled materials, with low VOC emissions and minimal chemical processing.

These eco-conscious underlays improve comfort, insulation, and durability while supporting better indoor air quality and reducing waste sent to landfill.

4. Comfort and Natural Temperature Control

Natural flooring materials help regulate indoor temperature and humidity. Wool and jute provide natural cushioning and warmth underfoot, reducing strain on joints. Our materials adapt to seasonal changes, creating a more balanced indoor climate year-round.

5. Long-Lasting Durability

Natural floors are designed to last for decades. Solid wood and stone floors can be refinished and restored instead of replaced, making them a cost-effective and sustainable investment. Their durability reduces waste and ensures timeless beauty for generations.

6. Timeless Design and Natural Beauty

Each natural floor has its own unique texture, grain, and character. Unlike synthetic alternatives, natural materials age gracefully and enhance the aesthetic value of your home. Whether your style is modern, classic, or rustic, natural flooring adds warmth and authenticity to any space.
