Global movement for action

allwood-cares, News
Youth taking the lead.
There is a historic, world-wide movement happening. People are gathering together in what is being called a “Climate Strike” to sound the alarm on climate change. The phenomenon is truly global. And, as amazing as it may sound, it all started with one 16-year-old climate activist from Sweden named Greta Thunberg. For the first time just last year, Thunberg began striking by skipping school every Friday to protest government inaction on climate change. Her passion and message inspired kids around the world to do the same, and has now grown to include millions people, of ALL ages, all across the world.
On Friday , September 20, it is estimated that over 4-million people, in more than 2,500 events, across 163 countries, participated in the Climate Strike. As an example (according to event organizers) there were 40,000 people striking in France; 2,600 in Ukraine; 5,000 in South Africa; 10,000 in Turkey; 5,000 in Japan; 100,000 in London; 330,000 in Australia; 250,000 in NYC; and 1.4 million in Germany. In our hometown, Portland, Oregon, more than 6,000 attended numerous events, including a rally and protest march—and Allwood was proud to be there. Since then the numbers have grown even larger.
It is a truly moving thing to experience being among so many equally-minded people. Even more so, knowing it all is being spearheaded by predominantly young adults and school-aged children. But, maybe it should not come as any surprise. As it is, they and their children…and grandchildren, are the ones who will bear the brunt if the worst-case of climate change happens. And by many accounts, it will. What these Climate Strikers are demanding is—first and foremost—for the world to take notice of the severity of the situation. And secondly for everyone to start acting accordingly.
Making a stand.
Allwood is extremely conscientious of the planet and our fellow people we share it with. As a company we have made a commitment to sustainable business practices, with a goal of being “green” as we possibly can, and to helping those in need where we can. We refuse to add to the plastic catastrophe, and will not make vinyl or plastic products.
To that endeavor, we fully support this growing movement of awareness on the condition of the climate and the impact our actions have on it. Furthermore we encourage other businesses to join us as well. Because only when we make a stand to “act according” to our beliefs, and we all do our part, can we hope to make a positive difference.
We think the time has passed where it is acceptable for a business to put profits over everything else and hope others will join us.

Allwood Flooring Commercial Maintenance Program — Guide to maximize life of wood flooring in commercial applications

Sep 30, 2020

Wood flooring: Is it durable enough for commercial use? The short answer is, “Yes absolutely”. In fact, when maintained properly, not only can wood floors last longer than most other options in commercial settings, real hardwood has numerous additional advantages as well—making it a more sustainable and economic choice. Hardwood flooring is an excellent solution for both residential and commercial, moderate-to-heavy use areas. They feel elegant and inviting, are easy to install, simple to clean, and can actually improve indoor air quality. Compared to vinyl or tile, wood flooring is more environmentally-friendly to produce and is also biodegradable; where vinyl is not. Hardwood is extremely durable and able to withstand a large amount of foot traffic. As an example, the Copenhagen Airport in Denmark has had wood flooring since the 1960s. Over fifty years on, with nearly 23 million passengers annually, they still look amazing. Even in the most demanding locations, given adequate care wood floors can last for generations.

Amazing products is what we make. Helping others is what we love. Our Story

DEDICATION TO CARING

Our promise is really very simple...we care. We care about the products we make, the people we work with, and the planet we all share.

Caring is why we are very selective of who can sell Allwood products, because we know how hard our retail partners work and we want to forge lasting relationships with them. Concentrating on hand-picked showrooms in strategic locations, and giving them the tools they need, helps our partners to provide exceptional service and creates the best consumer experience possible.

And Caring is also why we focus on developing products that are responsibly produced, precision crafted, and sustainably made from 100% real wood or bamboo. Not only do we want to be good stewards of natural resources, we strive to be conscientious of what we are leaving behind as well. Wood is the only flooring product that comes from, and returns back to, the earth. That’s why you will never find printed laminates, plastics, or unnatural materials at Allwood.

Builders prefer working with Allwood products because they are made to exact quality standards. Designers appreciate the selection of relevant colors and styles. And home owners love that Allwood floors continue looking great even years after installation.

This dedication to caring has underscored our first two decades in business. And now, as we move into our next twenty years, it drives us even more to make the best floors we can—putting people and planet first.

BECOME A DISPLAYING RETAILER

You’ve seen our products. You like how they look. And maybe you are wondering how to become one of our trusted partners. It’s important you know we select only a limited number of retail locations within each region. That way, we can focus on quality, availability, and great service. And you can concentrate on helping your customers with less worry about other competitive retailers in your area. We also understand the value of showroom real estate and want to give you the tools you need without eating up valuable space.We try to create a complete product offering in a small footprint. For greater flexibility, we have multiple displaying programs that include the entire Allwood portfolio or separate programs for the Hardwood and Bamboo lines. The Allwood brand is growing rapidly, we are adding new partners all the time. So, if you are interested, make sure to contact us today at 1-503-255-7976 or CARE@Allwoodgrp.com.

CARB2 COMPLIANCE

The California Air Resources Board Phase 2 (CARB2) is a certification process by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) with an aim to reduce formaldehyde emissions and protect the public from airborne toxic contaminants. Gaining the CARB2 compliant seal indicates a product has formaldehyde levels well within what CARB2 limits considers safe. Fitting with our values, Allwood ensures all of our products either meet or exceed environmentally conscientious standards, and make the choice to have our products all CARB2 certified.
