An EcoTimber floor is more than beautiful wood or bamboo. Since 1992, EcoTimber has been the only flooring company devoted exclusively to forest protection and indoor air quality. You can trust that an EcoTimber floor, no matter which one you choose, satisfies the highest environmental and health standards.
History
EcoTimber was founded in 1992 when, after touring South America and seeing the destruction of the tropical rainforests there, Jason Grant met two UK-based woodworkers who started the very first company in the world to promote sustainable tropical timber, importing lesser-known species from community-based forestry operations in remote places like Papua New Guinea and Ecuador.
Our Mission
EcoTimber can bring positive change to the management of forest ecosystems worldwide by offering wood products from 3rd party independently audited sustainably managed forests and recycled and rapidly renewable bamboo and cork products. We are committed to providing high-quality, beautiful, and healthy products free from toxic materials. EcoTimber remains on the cutting edge of environmental awareness and action.
