Ultimate performance flooring is not just about durability and cleanability. It is also about maximizing the enjoyment of natural hardwood while minimizing the impact on the environment. Mohawk’s UltraWood is a revolutionary leap forward in sustainable flooring.
For people who want a sustainable alternative to traditional hardwood, UltraWood is naturally sustainable, provides 10x more flooring, and uses 90 percent recycled wood.
Naturally Sustainable. As trees grow, they sequester carbon. When the tree is turned into UltraWood, the carbon stays locked away in the finished materials. Therefore, UltraWood removes carbon from the air and stores it in a beautiful long-lasting floor. Since natural wood is the primary raw material used in UltraWood, the floors are 100 percent renewable.
10x More Flooring. The UltraWood manufacturing process delivers 10x more natural hardwood per log when compared to traditional hardwood flooring production. For instance, in a 2,500-square-foot home, it only takes 2.5 logs to floor the entire space with UltraWood compared to 25 logs to floor the entire space with traditional wood.
90% Recycled Wood. 90 percent of the wood used to create the impact-resistant boards of UltraWood is recycled from post-industrial wood. In fact, every year, Mohawk converts half a million tons of industrial wood waste into impact-resistant boards with 5x greater dent protection for UltraWood hardwood floors.
UltraWood represents the future of sustainable wood flooring. Mohawk’s recycled platform opens new opportunities to create and support an emerging circular flooring economy.
