So when it comes to making the right decision, look no further than considering renovating the wood floors that lie under your carpets or have just been damaged throughout time

Obviously, if the wood is already in your home, or office or any property to start to refurbish this will be one of the most sustainable decisions you could possibly make for your interior decoration.
Even if the wood is coming from a shop, don’t worry as much as you maybe would, because it is a renewable resource. This is when it has been sustainably harvested.
That aspect is very important indeed. Many governments around the world have put in the amount of wood that can be harvested at a particular time. And this means that if this is done correctly, it has a very minimal effect on the environment. In fact it’s often managed carefully which means that when a cubic foot of wood or trees are cut, then in many places, about one and a half times the amount are planted back in their place.
This is all about the management and the rate of the harvest which will be always less than the growth rate on average. So let’s not go into too many details about this, but just imagine that, for example a tree that produces hardwood takes approximately 60 years to come to maturation. And that means the current supply can last up to about 100 years which gives plenty of time for new trees to grow.
One of the most important things when considering either buying wood or restoring those
wood floors within your house is how long lasting this wonderful material can be.
That’s why in many homes in London and other parts of the UK you will see fabulous wood floors that with some loving attention can look almost brand new again.
In fact, they can last well over 100 years if treated correctly. So this is one of the things that makes them not only exciting as a material, but very sustainable indeed.
Trees by the way, take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, which many of you may have learned along the line in school. So in fact wood is also a carbon neutral product. So without rushing out to buy more firstly, think about refurbishing the floors that you have right now in the property. this is so sustainable and relatively easy to do.
