Flooring your home with wood while reducing your ecological impact can be a real headache. According to écohabitation, an ecological wood floor is made of local, healthy and sustainable materials.

Fortunately, in Quebec, the forestry industry is an important part of our economy. The Quebec Forest Industry Council (CIFQ) provides guidance and support to the industry on many environmental issues:

- Forestry and Supply,

- the environment and energy,

- recognition of product quality,

- human resources,

- occupational health and safety and legal monitoring,

- and much more!

A wood floor from Quebec is an ecological and affordable choice! At Barwood Pilon, the majority of our inventory is produced locally. Opting for a locally produced wood floor from Quebec has many ecological advantages. Not to mention the economic advantages.

Find out why buying Quebec wood flooring is a great decision for your home, your wallet and the environment.

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Buying locally produced wood flooring significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Indeed, the production and transportation of foreign wood floors require a significant amount of energy and generate CO2 emissions during their transportation.

The production and transportation of foreign wood flooring often requires a significant amount of energy. This energy generates greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. By purchasing a locally produced wood floor, you reduce the distance travelled by the products. You therefore considerably reduce the CO2 emissions associated with transportation.

According to a study conducted by the Institute for Research in Contemporary Economics (IREC), the greenhouse gas emissions associated with importing wood can be up to five times greater than those associated with producing local wood. The study also found that imported products often have a greater environmental impact due to production in remote areas and the distance traveled for transportation.

By opting for wood flooring from Quebec, you can significantly reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to the fight against climate change.

Promote the local economy

By purchasing a locally produced wood floor from Quebec, you encourage Quebec businesses. You are therefore supporting the local economy. At the same time, buying locally contributes to the creation of local jobs and the economic development of the region.

In addition, buying locally reduces dependence on foreign imports, which helps strengthen the region's economic autonomy.

Supporting responsible production

By choosing a locally produced Quebec wood floor, you can be sure that the wood used is responsibly produced. Local wood producers respect the strictest environmental standards in terms of wood harvesting, biodiversity protection and natural habitat conservation.

In addition, they implement sustainable forest management practices to ensure the regeneration of felled trees. By purchasing a Quebec wood floor, you can be sure that you are contributing to the preservation of forests and the protection of biodiversity.

Quality and durability

Quebec's wood floors are renowned for their quality and durability. Local wood producers use modern and innovative production techniques to offer high quality products that are wear-resistant and easy to maintain.

In addition, Quebec wood floors are more resistant to temperature and humidity variations, making them ideal for the Quebec climate. By choosing a Quebec wood floor, you can be sure to invest in a high quality product that will last a long time.
