Hardwood Floor Protection
The Wood Floor Conservancy
Produces
Trees, Tradesmen, and Testing
Yes, hardwood floor protection is chair protectors and
dishwasher leak pans
and
water shut off valves
and
appliance glides
and
area rugs.
But it is also the proactive perspective of Director, Jerry Adamsson, who has hardly looked up from a wood floor in 24 years. 
His only photos from his honeymoon in Paris were of the parquet floors in the Louvre, (A lovely Venetian pattern in White Oak.) In this 2001 photo, he actually looks up from a Versaille pattern of Brazilian Cherry, Santos Mahogany, and northern Red Oak featured with a brass pinstrip. This particular homeowner wanted a "world class" floor because he was a world-wide manufacturer. The Conservancy exists to see this floor of precious resources to its longest possible life.
A Non-Profit, Not a Charity
As a way of introduction, this website is an educational not-for-profit service mark of The Conservancy. Membership consists of flooring owners, shoppers, and professionals who pay no dues, but merely use The Conservancy as a resource for wood floor protection. They are broadly divided into
Shademakers
(suppliers) and
Journeymen
(tradesmen.)
It is from this participation that we meet our obligations.
Please join the cause of hardwood floor protection as they did... by reciting
the No, Not One Pledge.
In addition to protecting existing floors and their owners from unnecessary waste, The Wood Floor Conservancy protects the future of our industry as it
invests
in re-forestation and environmental studies around the globe,
defends wood as the best flooring choice, all things considered, for reasons pertaining to public health, home value, and environmental impact: renewable, sustainable, biodegradable,
and serves the flooring industry and the general public with research that leads to
that leads to education, that leads to publication, that leads to
advocacy
for existing floors and their owners, as well as purchasers of new flooring.
Perhaps you are new to wood floor ownership? Or, you have a new question on an old floor?
We old floor guys have seen what lasts
AND
YOU WANT YOUR WOOD FLOOR TO LAST
for
- aesthetic
- financial
- or environmental reasons.
Actually, whether you are talking:
Vacuums/Finishes/Cleaners/Maintenance/Insurance Claims/Design
old floors guys probably have a time-tested opinion.
