During a home’s conception phase, Georgetown Development is always working to come up with innovative designs utilizing materials that will not only meet a homeowner’s vision, but also create a living space that’s unique. For many homeowners in the Washington DC metro area, green design is a hot topic and many of our customers are looking to use products that combine green materials with design.

Today’s market is full of options when it comes to eco-friendly natural wood, so when we came across this new flooring from We Cork, we were excited to incorporate this material into our next custom home. We Cork’s Eco-Nomical series is a premium glueless floating floor, made with recycled wine stoppers. Like other cork flooring, it’s durable, sound absorbing and most importantly, comfortable under foot. Availble in four colors, We Cork’s Eco-Nomical series is easy to install and adds a sustainable element to any home
