I'm curious why the author names "maximizing production volume" as a sustainability feature, that seems unrelated to the premise that you can maximize material use with new forms. - Daniela Wed, 25 May 2011 12:05:50 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/architecture/3458-curving-wood-floors-make-less-waste#comment-43467 only in europe :'( I hope it comes to America some day. - Sobhan Tue, 10 May 2011 19:38:54 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/architecture/3458-curving-wood-floors-make-less-waste#comment-43064 I like the look, it's definitely adds to the style, but as with any products being "green" I think this will carry a hefty pricetag and as for the obvious, installing wood floors will be a puzzle. I think the aesthetic appearance is what at the end will sell this product, more than anything else - Eli Fri, 25 Mar 2011 16:07:33 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/architecture/3458-curving-wood-floors-make-less-waste#comment-42997 They're probably more likely to scan the broken board to cut a new one. I can see it being way more expensive than straight-cut wood - Captain TickTock Thu, 17 Mar 2011 09:08:06 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/architecture/3458-curving-wood-floors-make-less-waste#comment-42991 are there typical room sizes that could be built for? say a standard 10 x 12 room that you could buy in a bundle, Trim the two outside pieces flat to mesh with the wall and make a lovely little piece of rustic looking shelving out of the cut offs. While a lot of rooms are not exact, seems many of them are based on square cut 8' boards and 16" spacing (at least in the US)so, one could imagine, there could be a few standard pre-made sizes. - sarah Wed, 16 Mar 2011 22:38:17 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/architecture/3458-curving-wood-floors-make-less-waste#comment-42983 I can't say how much waste there is in this process but it looks better than what I've seen. I used to work my summers in college in a wood flooring factory and I can say without a doubt that there is a significant amount of waste in making uniform, straight flooring pieces. That said, every ounce of the leftover cuttings was sold off to other companies to be used for other purposes, so nothing was really 'wasted' - William Berg Wed, 16 Mar 2011 10:25:31 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/architecture/3458-curving-wood-floors-make-less-waste#comment-42971 ...IKEA? Where would they get all the wood waste to make particle board. :P - Tem Wed, 16 Mar 2011 00:59:32 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/architecture/3458-curving-wood-floors-make-less-waste#comment-42969 and man, is it beautiful. i would like this in my dream home, please. - keg Tue, 15 Mar 2011 23:50:42 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/architecture/3458-curving-wood-floors-make-less-waste#comment-42967 Making the maximum use of the wood by this method is really interesting. It is a very good effort which can also help us to conserve other sources of energy. - Sharon Mathew Tue, 15 Mar 2011 20:33:21 +0100
