All EcoFusion flooring products exceed 2012 emission standards for the California Air Resource Board (CARB) as well as European E0 rating for indoor air quality.
How We Do It
Recycled Strandwoven Poplar products represent an evolution in hardwood flooring. Recycled scraps from furniture veneers are coated with a phenolic adhesive compound that is free from added urea-formaldehyde and other harmful VOC’s. These coated scraps are then cold pressed into long “railroad tie” shaped blocks, carefully kiln dried and then conditioned over several months to ensure maximum stability. The blocks are then precision milled into flooring planks and conditioned again to meet the various demands of North American climates. ADOBE CANYON features poplar scraps with a light mocha colored stain that resembles the layers of rich adobe red-brown walls in canyons throughout the southwest United States. Overall, this innovative and patented process creates an extremely unique, incredibly durable and 100% certified flooring product for a healthy lifestyle
