A Sustainable Approach to Wood Harvesting

At Musolf's Wood Flooring, our passion is maintaining a healthy forest ecosystem. The timber industry and its effect on the environment is an important issue not only for us, but in the United States and throughout the world. The prevailing belief over the past few decades is that the timber industry has been depleting the world's forests.

However, current statistics show we are seeing positive strides in environmentally conscious harvesting. The US sees a net gain in trees replanted versus harvested. The Forest Service National Nursery System provides approximately 28 million tree seedlings each year for planting. Additionally, advances in science and agriculture have enhanced the way we manage forests, stimulating their growth.

Our suppliers prioritize a practice called sustain-yield management, which is the principle of harvesting only as much wood as can be regenerated over time, and does not compromise the ability of the forest to produce wood for future generations.

Responsibly Sourced Exotic Wood Species

When it comes to exotic species, Musolf’s only imports from reputable, standards-practicing manufacturers. Over the years we’ve developed strong, reliable relationships with manufacturers with very high standards-and only from nations with governed restrictions and harvesting laws. We’re proud to help support a sustainable industry here and around the world-an industry that provides employment for millions of families.

A Diverse Range of Eco-Friendly Flooring Materials

Musolf’s offers a wide variety of eco-friendly products. We work with suppliers to offer flooring from reclaimed hardwoods of tobacco barns or decades-old industrial buildings. We also offer sustainable flooring from fast-growing plants like bamboo. We also source hardwoods from Wisconsin, reducing transportation distance and carbon emissions.

Wood: A Responsible Building Choice

Manufacturing wood flooring yields minimal waste, as any by-products like scraps and sawdust are repurposed. Wood emerges as a durable, aesthetically pleasing, and renewable resource, making it an ideal choice for constructing homes and commercial spaces.
