An Insight into Sustainable Hardwood Flooring
Tue 29 Sept
|Il Salotto
Atkinson & Kirby have been making hardwood flooring since 1903, and this session is where they explain what "sustainable" actually means for the material underfoot — beyond the certification logos.
Time & Location
29 Sept 2026, 13:00 – 13:40
Il Salotto, 20 Bell St, Glasgow G1 1LG, UK
About the Event
Elliot Tait (Head of Sales, Scotland) and Stuart Cottle (Head of Marketing) make the case for real wood over synthetic alternatives: certified sourcing back to 1985, when A&K became the first UK company to offer FSC; the embodied carbon a timber floor saves against something like LVT; and why a floor that can be sanded and refinished for 20 to 50 years is the better spec than one you replace every decade.
They'll also cover what it means for the room itself — air quality, acoustics, and the wellbeing case for a natural material underfoot.
13.00, Thursday 29 October, at Il Salotto. Free to attend.
