What materials can natural flooring come in?
Sisal
For a robust and natural flooring made from plant fibres, sisal is a popular choice as a natural solution for flooring. Sisal comes from a plant native to Mexico.

Seagrass

Wood
Wood is probably the most notable and most recognisable natural flooring. Even if you use the same material for your natural floorboards, the grain patterns are different. Natural oak floors are a beautiful hardwood option that can give a truly unique finish.
Stone
