Recycled teak floor tiles per sq metre (4 tiles)

Ref: Floor1
Beautiful and fully sustainable reclaimed teak flooring is now being exclusively imported into the UK by The India Shop, which has been supporting Indian business initiatives and some of the country’s talented artisans for over 20 years.
The floor tiles are made of strips of reclaimed teak from redundant buildings in India, mounted onto tough cotton backing, enabling the tiles to be laid more easily and simple to remove. Four floor tiles make one square metre.
Because the tiles are made from old, seasoned wood, when laid they will not suffer swelling or shrinkage. Each tile made from recycled wood is unique and no tree or forest has been destroyed to produce it.
According to Anne Wyles, The India Shop's Director: “We discovered the tiles on our supplier’s office floor in India and were blown away by how beautiful they looked. They’re stylish, don’t show marks and furniture and rugs look fabulous on them.”
The flooring is made by a family firm in Jodphur, Rajasthan, in a desert area where the local economy is supported by the manufacture of wooden handicrafts as farming is difficult. The India Shop has worked with the company for more than 20 years, watching their four sons grow up and join the business. Three years’ ago, because of forest erosion, the company decided to stop working with new wood altogether and concentrate on reclaiming surplus wood available from the scores of redundant buildings in the area, recycling it into goods fit for local and western markets.
"The most surprising thing about these tiles is how well they blend in with different interior styles," said Anne. "They look as good within a contemporary style such as ‘New England’ as within more traditional interiors, making them adaptable to changing tastes. An added benefit is that when you move house, if you wish, you can pick up your floor and take it with you."
