Ecohardwood oak wood flooring is 100% European product

Jul 01, 2022

Ecohardwood is renowned for its responsible approach to forestry, sustainable engineered oak flooring production, and respect for the environment. Not only is our product eco-friendly, but it is also 100% European.

RAW MATERIALS FROM EUROPEAN FOREST

Our Lithuanian manufacturer Ecowood UAB agrees that the journey from purchasing raw materials, matching quality processing standards to flooring production, requires precision planning and expertise.

We are proud to have established relationships with European timber suppliers. Both raw oak and birch plywood that we use to manufacture our products have their origins documented and are made from sustainably sourced forests for further industrial processing.

One of the reasons why European oak is preferred over American or Asian oak among customers and flooring contractors is the durability and longevity. The flooring made of European oak is easy to install, hardwearing, and doesn’t expand and shrink to any great extent.
It is also important to note that having European materials delivered to Lithuania means that we avoid long distance transportation resulting in a cleaner carbon footprint.

GERMAN MADE COATING SYSTEM AND ADHESIVES

After raw materials are carefully processed at our local manufacturing facility, production of the flooring begins.

We use German quality adhesive to glue layers of the floorboards together which ensure absolute stability. Next, our beautiful flooring is coated using stains and oils from German brand SAICOS, the leading manufacturer of wood coating systems. Saicos production is non-toxic and eco-friendly which matches our goal to produce ecological flooring. Lastly, when it comes to the installation process, we recommend using STAUF adhesives, primers, and underlays. STAUF was established in Germany in 1828 and has been the leader in adhesive technology ever since.

LITHUANIA BASED PRODUCTION

To reduce pollution and energy consumption during production, a solar power plant was installed at the factory’s premises in Vilkija, Lithuania. It is one of the biggest solar power plants in the country. All of our products are now being produced in a sustainable manner using green energy, whilst contributing to the environment and fighting climate change.

Nothing goes to waste. Wood offcuts and shavings are recycled into charcoal briquettes which are in turn given to the local community.

In contribution to European forestry, every spring, our colleagues at the factory gather with the locals to plant oak trees. Over 2000 oaks are being planted annually.

We recently purchased Ecohardwood engineered oak wood flooring in the Tobacco colour and we couldn’t be happier. The quality is excellent – well made, with a beautiful natural finish. We installed it throughout the whole house and it has completely changed the look and feel of the space, giving it a warm, modern and very natural feel. We did apply a premium hardwax oil, which enhanced the tone and added extra protection. We are extremely happy with our choice and would definitely recommend this floor to anyone looking for great quality and a timeless look.

I bought the floors for 1 of my project. They look amazing, worth every penny. The client is so happy with this flooring. Next projects will suggest to my clients to get this floor. Easy to install...One of the staff which I deal with ( name Renata ), was really helpful. Thank you Renata. Definitely recommend this flooring.

We chose Ecohardwood having seen their engineered oak floors (Tobacco) in a friend's house. We found Irmantas a pleasure to deal with. We love the look and finish of the product and chose it in part because it works well with our underfloor heating. There were a few spillages by our builders but the Ecohardwood team have been very helpful in helping our builders to remedy these mistakes. Irmantas has remained very reassuring and calm! We fully recommend the product having lived in our house now for a few months. If I did it again I might use Ecohardwood to do the installation.

We recently worked with Ecohardwood and Gode Interiors on a bespoke oak staircase project. Ecohardwood manufactured the staircase cladding and supplied high-quality oak components, which were beautifully crafted and delivered to a very high standard. The products were well prepared for installation, and the team was knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the project. We would be happy to recommend Ecohardwood to anyone looking for quality oak staircases, flooring, doors, and bespoke joinery.

I recently visited the Ecohardwood showroom in West London and was genuinely impressed. It's beautifully designed and the quality of the products really stands out. Everything is made from real, natural oak and you can see the attention to detail in the craftsmanship. The team were very friendly and knowledgeable. If you're looking for premium engineered wood flooring, made-to-measure oak doors or bespoke oak staircases, I'd definitely recommend visiting the showroom. It's well worth the trip and gives you a much better understanding of the products than looking online. Excellent service and beautiful quality throughout.
