EcoTimber Hand-Scraped Hardwood Flooring Wins Environmental Award

EcoTimber's line of prefinished hand-scraped hardwood flooring has been awarded the Green Building Pages 2007 Sustainable Products Earth Day Award.

Anaheim, CA (PRWEB) May 21, 2007 -- EcoTimber's line of prefinished hand-scraped hardwood flooring has been awarded the Green Building Pages 2007 Sustainable Products Earth Day Award.

One hundred percent of the wood in EcoTimber's hand-scraped flooring (http://www.ecotimber.com/flooring/hand_scraped_flooring.asp) is certified according to the rules of the Forest Stewardship Council, adhering to strict environmental and social standards.

The engineered flooring's wood layers are glued together with non-formaldehyde adhesives, protecting indoor air quality and exceeding the new California formaldehyde standard two years before it goes into effect.

"EcoTimber has always had the highest environmental standards, and our hand-scraped flooring is another great example," said EcoTimber CEO Lewis Erick Buchner. "Here's a prefinished floor that is genuinely hand-scraped, made in the USA from FSC-certified forests with formaldehyde-free adhesives. This is as 'eco' as it gets."

The award was presented to EcoTimber at EcoBuild America, a conference held in Anaheim, CA. Additional criteria contributing to the award include Company Social Responsibility, Innovative Leadership, and End of Product Life.
