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. The Agave Sisalana plant offers a stiff and hardwearing material that can be woven together. The plant is now grown around the world specifically for making natural flooring.
Seagrass
A popular natural floor covering, seagrass is more resistant to damage than most natural flooring solutions. Seagrass is grown naturally in coastal areas and is a sustainable natural flooring option that is also hypoallergenic.
Jute
Known for being a naturally softer material, Jute is another sustainable material made from plant fibres. As a natural flooring company, Windsor Carpets is committed to supplying the best in eco-friendly flooring. This material comes from plants in the Corchorus genus.
Coir
A truly unique manufacturing process, coir is made from Indian coconut husk fibres that are softened in sea water. Coir is a strong and hard-wearing natural flooring material that will hold up in well trafficked areas.
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
Stone flooring can be used in almost any room, as it won’t absorb liquids and is naturally damage resistant. For instance, natural stone kitchen floors are very popular as they are hardwearing and some are better at retaining their colour in direct sunlight.
