After harvesting, the reeds are dried and spun into strong yarn, suitable for weaving into several styles. Its impermeability makes it hard to dye, yet easy to keep as spills can simply be wiped up. Seagrass is one of the most comfortable of the natural woven fibers, making it a great choice for any area in your home. Installed wall to wall by the direct glue method or used as area rugs, seagrass adds a casual, organic feeling to any room. Despite its name, seagrass is not compatible with water or very high humidity. If exposed to either one, it will mildew. Treatment with an antimicrobial is advised if these conditions exist. Seagrass continues to be one of our most popular selections, complimenting any décor. CDC Carpets stocks seagrass, making it quickly available to our customers for rugs or wall to wall installation. Bamboo Bamboo is a grass rather than a wood, yet it is harder than oak. Bamboo looks, installs and finishes just like wood. It is a sustainable product harvested from controlled forests, with most of the mills concentrated in China. As a grass, bamboo regenerates much faster than wood and is a remarkably, renewable resource. Bamboo comes in a natural honey color, a darker carbonized shade, or stained in various custom colors. Cork Cork comes from the bark of the Cork Oak tree. They grow in the forests of Mediterranean countries with the largest concentration of plantations in Spain and Portugal. The tree has an average lifespan of 500 years. The bark, which protects the tree during it's life, is harvested every 10 years so that the tree itself is never felled. The bark is inherently fire retardant, thereby preventing destruction by forest fires. It is resistant to temperature changes as well as more than 38 species of insects, including the termite. Due to the characteristics of cork, it truly is a natural product that makes for an incredibly durable and unique looking floor. It has been used for flooring since the turn of the century and can be found in it's original installation in places like the Library of Congress since the early 1900's. There are many new patterns and vibrant colors to meet the demand of today's design trends. Cork typically comes in 12x12 tiles which are directly adhered to the subfloor, but some styles are available in a 1x3 plank for a tongue and groove floating floor installation. A polyurethane finish will ensure the life of cork which also make an extremely low maintanance floor. You simply wipe up spills and no staining! It is also a softer floor underfoot so standing for long periods of time is not as hard on your feet and back as you might experience with a tile floor. Bio-Degradable Hemp and Wool Carpet |
