The FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) is an independent, non-governmental, not for profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests. With the standards of the FSC® in mind, Hallmark Floors is truly second to none! From our hardwood finishes, our true hand-distressed methods, our longer planks, our sawing methods, and our commitment to the environment, you will love our hardwood floor products. Hallmark Floors has the quality and craftsmanship you want and deserve. We guarantee you will enjoy your hardwood floors for generations to come.
In addition to Hallmark Floors FSC® Certification we employ the use of TrueCore Centerply, because we know great engineered hardwood floor starts with a strong foundation. Hallmark Floors uses only true hardwood veneers for the Centerply in our hardwood flooring. The ply’s are pressed at high pressure and heat. The process compresses the core veneers and makes the plank harder and more dimensionally stable. Proprietary veneer-adhesives ensure superior sheer strength and full compliance with indoor air quality requirements established by the California Air Resources Board (CARB II). Hallmark Floors uses sustainably sourced raw materials. Insist on Hallmark Floors with Truecore Centerply for a lifetime of true performance.
Hallmark Floors Meets FSC® Standards
At Hallmark Floors we take Environmental Stewardship seriously and have since our inception over 12 years ago. We have led the way with Ultra low VOC ( Volatile Organic Compounds ) in our finish and core materials as well as responsibility in how we source the lumber that makes our floors so durable, easy to clean and beautiful.
