New renewable forms of flooring, such as recycled laminates and bamboo flooring have become more and more popular. Three Rivers ReDevelopment often uses these items in the building process, and hopes to use even more as more variety hits the market in the future. We recently purchased over 5,000 square feet of bamboo flooring for a future loft project.
When possible, we enoucourage the reuse/recycling of building materials in our projects. On the east-end of Pittsburgh, where we do most of our business, is the Construction Junction. There we can shop for reused items that help restore some of the original character of a building. We also donate hundreds of items per year that we are not able to use. To learn more about the Construction Junction, check out their website below.
