Hitchcock Hardwoods continually strives to use effective products and methods with less environmental impact and that limit the harmful effects of downstream pollution, and health risks.
Specifically, Hitchcock Hardwoods' use of dust containment and waterborne products from Bona significantly reduce the health and environmental hazards of hardwood floor care. We were the first flooring contractor in Aiken and the CSRA to offer a complete hardwood floor finishing and floor care system utilizing companies that are GREENGUARD certified for indoor air quality. GREENGUARD certification assures professionals and consumers unsurpassed durability, beauty, and environmental responsibility for hardwood floors.
Floor Care
We select Bona waterborne floor cleaners that are non-toxic and specially designed to be safe for floors, families, and the environment. In addition, these products are GREENGUARD certified for indoor air quality and the more stringent Children and Schools Program.
Dust Containment
Having dust producing equipment connected to a powerful vacuum system provides the evacuation of airborne dust that is generated from the sanding process. A dust containment system virtually eliminates a dust-storm in your home, lingering dust in your air-ducts, and a clean-up headache that feels like it will never end. Bona sanding equipment is GREENGUARD certified for indoor air quality.
Waterborne Finishes
We use Bona and other finishes that have no toxic fumes and low VOC's so they are healthier for your family, pets, and the environment. In addition, there is no need to vacate your home during the finishing process due to fast dry times and easy water clean-up. This waterborne technology highlights the true beauty and elegance of the wood and provides the ultimate in durability.
GREENGUARD
The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute is an industry-independent, non-profit organization that establishes standards and testing for indoor products. Their goal is to improve public health by helping manufacturers build safer products. These products will not pollute the air with harmful levels of dangerous chemicals or particulates.
