Sustainable flooring requests in Toronto come mostly from downtown condo owners and from families in the west end renovating older homes, and the two most common products are cork and FloorScore-certified low-emission vinyl. Cork suits condos particularly well: it is naturally quiet underfoot, which helps with acoustic requirements, and it is warm on a concrete slab. For houses, FSC-certified hardwood and true linoleum come up regularly. Toronto has good supply for all of these, but certification documentation must be requested at the time of order rather than afterwards.
