Anyone looking for the perfect balance of strength, workability, and beauty cannot ignore Bubinga flooring.  So what is Bubinga Flooring? Hailing from Africa, Staybull™ this flooring is an exotic, eco-friendly choice that is tailor made for modern and contemporary themed interiors.

Here are some general facts about recycled Bubinga. The hardwood is nearly 98% harder than teak, with a Janka Hardness of 1980.  This beautiful red wood flooring effortlessly resists scratches and dents, meaning your floor will last for decades.  But don’t think that this innate strength will make bubinga difficult to install.  It yields itself easily to manipulation with hand or power tools.  In fact, nailing and gluing over an aged concrete slab are the only areas where you’re likely to encounter any trouble at all.  Just watch out for the sawdust – it has been known to cause allergic reactions.

The stunning visual effect that every species of Staybull Flooring™ boasts is amplified by Bubinga’s natural exotic charm.  A rich rose-brown surface plays host to veins of light red and purple.  The overall effect is a warm, sublime space that lends itself perfectly to modern interior design.

For a recycled flooring option that is strong, beautiful, and easy to install, there are few choices better than Staybull™ bubinga flooring.

Sustainability Makes Flooring Eco-Friendly

Staybull Flooring™ is proud to be committed to the health of our environment.  But what makes our product so “green”? Sustainability makes flooring eco-friendly as well as health. These two main factors go into determining how environmentally friendly a product is.

Sustainability can be defined as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs”.  In simpler terms, if we use this product today, will we still be able to use it tomorrow?

Here are a few questions to ask when determining how sustainable a wood flooring product is:

  • Was the wood harvested so as to not degrade natural habitats?
  • Did the manufacturing and transportation of the product cause as little ecological damage as possible?
  • Was the resulting waste recycled or re-used?

The stronger the “yes” to these questions, the more eco-friendly the flooring is. Staybull Flooring­™ can confidently say yes to each of these, so you can rest assured that you will a recycled wood flooring option that meets your needs aesthetically, as well as environmentally. We salvage post-industrial strips of lumber that flooring and lumber companies leave behind. At Staybull Flooring™, we also have direct shipping lines between the mill and our manufacturing facilities (meaning, we don’t ship our flooring overseas to China to get finished, we do it here in the United States.

In the next post, we’ll talk about the health factors that go into eco-friendly flooring.

Reclaimed vs Staybull Flooring

When you hear that Staybull Flooring™ is recycled flooring, you may think “Oh, so it’s like reclaimed flooring.”  It is a sensible conclusion, but what really is the difference?

At first, reclaimed wood flooring and Staybull Flooring™ do seem similar.  They both recycle wood that would otherwise be thrown out, but there is a key difference: do you want a floor that is brand new, or used?

Reclaimed flooring is taken from unused barns and other old, condemned buildings.  When you install reclaimed wood flooring, you are basically getting antique flooring that has already seen a lot of use.

Staybull Flooring™ is made using scraps from lumber mills that are too small to be used.  Aside from their diminutive dimensions, these timbers are perfectly good, and above all, they are pristine.

See how Staybull™ turns recycled wood into brand new flooring.

So when you choose which type of eco-friendly, recycled flooring to install in your home, consider this difference: used or new?
