Products That Put the Planet First

How CFM Helps You Choose Earth-Friendly Materials Without Compromising Style or Quality

Every Earth Day, we remember that smart choices in building and design can make a significant impact. From the materials we choose to the brands we trust, it all adds up.

At CFM, we believe sustainability isn’t a trend—it’s a standard. That's why we have a wide range of flooring, cabinets, and surface options. These choices help lower environmental impact while keeping quality, style, and performance high.

Here are a few standout products available through CFM that prioritize the planet from the ground up.

Craft Floors – Sustainably Sourced Hardwood

Craft Floors is a leader in environmentally responsible hardwood flooring. Their products start with wood harvested from responsibly managed North American forests—never overseas or from questionable sources.

Craft finishes each plank with safe, plant-based oils that have zero VOCs. This provides a healthier product for your home or job site. There are no added formaldehydes, chemical hardeners, or artificial stains.

They designed their flooring to last, keeping it out of landfills. This gives it a longer life and reduces the need for replacement.

When you choose Craft, you’re choosing beauty, performance, and environmental stewardship—without compromise.

Bellmont Cabinets – 1300 Series

Cabinets are often overlooked when we talk about sustainable interiors, but Bellmont is helping to change that. Their 1300 Series combines sleek design with eco-conscious engineering.

These frameless cabinets are made in the USA. They meet CARB2 standards for low formaldehyde emissions. Manufacturers make them with responsibly sourced materials.

Bellmont’s factory works as a zero-waste facility. It recycles almost all scrap and makes every step of production efficient.

When you install Bellmont, you upgrade your kitchen or bath. You also support ethical production and smarter material use. Plus, you help improve indoor air quality.

Forbo Marmoleum – Carbon Neutral by Nature

Looking for flooring that checks all the boxes? Forbo’s Marmoleum line is one of the most sustainable options on the market today.

Marmoleum is made from natural materials that renew quickly. These include linseed oil, wood flour, rosin, and jute. It is a strong flooring option that is good for the earth and durable to walk on.

Here’s what truly sets it apart: Marmoleum is carbon neutral from cradle to gate without the need to purchase carbon credits. That means Forbo doesn’t rely on offsetting emissions through things like tree planting or energy projects. Instead, the product’s carbon footprint is naturally balanced thanks to its eco-friendly ingredients and efficient manufacturing process.

Marmoleum also contributes to healthier indoor spaces—it’s free from PVC, phthalates, and synthetic additives. Its natural composition makes it antimicrobial and easy to maintain. This quality makes it great for homes and businesses.

With Forbo, you enjoy timeless design, lasting performance, and sustainability that the product itself incorporates.

Nature’s Carpet – The Green Spectrum of Wool

Nature’s Carpet is redefining what it means to offer a sustainable soft surface. Their rpets are made from 100% wool—a rapidly renewable and biodegradable fiber. And their unique “Green Spectrum” system helps customers easily understand the environmental profile of each product.

• Dark Green options use undyed wool, contain no chemical additives or insecticides, feature natural jute backing, and employ latex adhesives.

• Medium Green lines use low-VOC dyes and remain insect-resistant with natural backings.

• Light Green includes wool blends and synthetic backing, while still meeting low-emissions standards.

No matter which option you pick, all Nature’s Carpet choices are strong, low in toxins, and designed to filter dust and allergens. Plus, wool is naturally temperature-regulating and sound-absorbing—benefits you’ll feel with every step.

Stanton Wool Rugs – Natural Meets Beautiful

Wool is one of nature’s most impressive fibers—strong, soft, renewable, and biodegradable. Stanton’s 100% wool rugs combine all those qualities with designer styles. Many options are undyed or use low-impact dyes, and the natural structure of wool makes these rugs stain-resistant and long-wearing.

Stanton rugs help create healthier indoor spaces. They do this by not using synthetic fibers or chemical treatments found in many mass-produced carpets. They’re ideal for families, pet owners, and anyone who values a beautiful home built with sustainability in mind.

Plyboo – Rapidly Renewable Bamboo

Plyboo has led the way in using bamboo as a sustainable choice. It serves as a good alternative to traditional hardwoods for flooring and wall panels. Bamboo grows incredibly fast—some species mature in just five years—making it a standout renewable material.

Plyboo products are FSC-certified and do not have added formaldehyde. This helps ensure good indoor air quality for you. They also produce them in environmentally responsible facilities that prioritize waste reduction and energy efficiency.

Whether you’re specifying for residential or commercial, Plyboo offers unique textures and modern aesthetics rooted in sustainability.
