Description

A floor can add warmth and texture to a room, but did you know that your flooring choice can also have an impact on the air quality inside your home? Join Kevin as he leans about concrete, recycled wood, natural carpet and other flooring options. Concrete may not be the greenest flooring material out there, but there are many new techhnologies that can make it greener than ever before. And by using the poured foundation itself as his home's floor at ground level, Kevin saved having to use an additional flooring material--after all, the greenest material you can use on any project is no material at all. For the upstairs, Kevin explores recycled sheep barn flooring, and at his daughters' request checks out some cozy earth- and human-friendly carpeting.
