- It is one of the 'greenest' flooring products around since you simply harvest the bark but not the tree so the bark simply grows back.
- It is a cushy floor so it feels great to walk on, and great for your back and knees, too.
- They are now available in a variaty of plank-designs where it appears in patterns just like hardwood planks.
- Qualifies for LEED points.
