Green policy

At Solid Floor we take our environmental responsibility seriously and want to preserve the origins of wood, which we feel so passionately about. Wherever possible we source wood that has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and we buy the majority of our timber from responsibly managed European forests. Even engineered boards can be produced from 100% FSC certified timber for both the solid wood top layer and supporting plywood.

We work closely with our timber suppliers who are mostly based in the Netherlands. Our preferred supplier is one of the very few Dutch wood companies to produce Oak flooring in a fully sustainable manner by successfully evaluating their production processes and generating their own energy supply. The energy our supplier requires for its production is generated by the timber waste from their own production process and the surplus energy is pumped back into the national grid. This amounts to approximate 1,300 kW per hour, enough to continuously supply 3,000 local households with green electricity.

Together with our supplier we challenge conventional thinking and introduce new products to ethical consumers such as yourself. The challenge is to make 'doing green stuff' part of our daily lives. What was once just the desire of a few has now become a mass movement. However in tough times some companies adopt different values, people seem to come before our planet and genuine social change. We continue to showcase an honest commitment to seeking sustainable solutions and taking a responsible attitude in business.
