Recycled flooring manufacturer Staybull Flooring is working to cut out the waste cycle in the flooring industry by salvaging over 20 species of discarded lumber from mills across the world. The strips are fused together with VOC-free adhesives and finished to create an eco-friendly flooring product with many benefits. The material has an extended lifespan compared to concrete installations and features a unique, mosaic-like aesthetic.
Just checked out the site. As eco-conscious as I am, I never realized that flooring makers didn’t use all the lumber that was available. I’m happy that something like Staybull exists. It’s not as costly as I feared given that they’re the only company making a product like this. I mean let’s face it…some eco-friendly flooring runs upwards of $30 a square foot. At least this company has options!

I have been looking at reclaimed flooring options for my living room for a while now.
This is the first reclaimed option I have came across that looks NEW and still has the eco-friendly aspect the rest of the options offer.
PERFECT COMBO in my book.
I just finished talking with them and was impressed with the fact that they called me after I asked for a sample of Iroko. It’s not available at this time, so they were nice enough to go through the other species I was interested in. I got a quote too and my sample of Maple is on its way. I’m excited too, the price was within my budget.
