地板的选择
地板类型 |
是什么让它变成绿色的? |
其他的考虑 |
混凝土 |
混凝土 floors can incorporate recycled materials such as fly ash from coal-fired energy production, 而且非常耐用. 作为一个主要的热质量, they can be used in conjunction with proper passive solar design for increased comfort and efficiency. |
混凝土的生产是能源密集型的, 需要定期处理以保持表面密封, 又冷又难以站立. |
软木塞 |
软木是天然的, biodegradable and rapidly-renewable material that can be made into flooring materials with a variety of finishes. |
软木瓷砖地板适用于厨房, is warm and cushy to walk on and also provides acoustical insulation. |
层压制品 |
层压制品, 或者浮动地板, 有木头的外观吗, bamboo or 软木塞 but are composed of a thin pattern layer over a tongue-in-groove base of wood or wood fiber and may incorporate recycled material, which reduces the amount of virgin materials necessary to create it. |
这种地板易于安装,价格低廉. Drawbacks include: they cannot be refinished more than once or twice; are susceptible to moisture damage through the wood base, 而且它们通常是不可回收的. 寻找FloorScore标签以确保成分健康. |
自然油毡 |
油毡是乙烯基的替代品, 而是天然的, 材料可再生,经久耐用, 抗菌抗静电. |
It comes in sheets or easy to install click tiles that can be installed without glue or nails. 大多数油毡比乙烯基产品有更长的生命周期. |
瓷砖 |
瓷砖 is another durable option that can also contain recycled material, and can be repaired by replacing individual tiles rather than the entire floor. |
Drawbacks include the need for increased detailing to prepare surfaces for a successful installation, 瓷砖的生产通常是能源密集型的, 而且站在瓷砖上又冷又累. |
木 |
木 flooring provides a durable surface that can be refinished over time. 在建筑再利用商店寻找回收或回收的木材, 可能来自于解构的建筑, 回收的树木或重新锯过的木材. |
如果你选择新的木材, look for the FSC label which certifies that it was harvested and processed responsibly. Ensure you are using stains and coatings that meet healthy indoor air quality standards (look for no-VOC, 低voc, 或者用渗透性的油或蜡来代替聚氨酯. |
地毯 |
地毯 is a soft forgiving surface that can be found with recycled content or natural fibers such as wool, 黄麻, 剑麻或竹子. However, carpet is not the best option for allergens and long term 耐用性. |
Consider using area rugs made of natural fibers on top of hard surface flooring as an accent or for warmth under your feet. By going the route of area rugs you have flexibility in design without compromising indoor air quality. |
乙烯基 |
它不是绿色的. 虽然是一种受欢迎的低成本选择, 乙烯基引发了对环境和健康安全的担忧, 尤其是在生产和处理过程中. |
乙烯基 provides questionable 耐用性, and can produce harmful chemicals when burned. 避免乙烯基板材和乙烯基瓷砖地板. |
