What is V4 Wood Flooring doing to reduce the impact that the wood flooring industry has on the environment?
Reduce
In 2023, we made the decision to reduce the thickness of the Oak wear layer on our engineered floors. In doing so we have been able to increase the yield from a tree by 20%, aiding responsible forestry and ensuring the preservation of valuable Oak for generations to come. Another added benefit of reducing the thickness of the wear layer is consumer costs. With the rising cost of raw materials worldwide, we are able to keep your costs lower without compromising on quality.
Recycle
Our wood floors are built to last a lifetime, as reflected in our guarantee, but if you do decide it is time for a change, you can recycle your V4 wood floors at your local recycling centre. This gives the timber an opportunity to continue its journey rather than being sent to a landfill and burnt, releasing Carbon into the atmosphere.
