The PID Floors Environmental Roundtable Discussion 2022

No alt text provided for this image

At the beginning of 2022, PID Floors began the initial dreaming and organizing stages of?what would become our Environmental?Roundtable Discussion 2022. Our inspiration was the United Nations’ World Environment Day, a day dedicated to encouraging worldwide awareness and action to protect our environment.

It was our hope to gather a multidisciplinary panel of experts together at PID Floors for a spirited conversation about the urgent topics regarding the environment and sustainability in the hardwood flooring, architecture, and design industries, and far beyond.

This past Thursday, October 13th 2022, we proudly hosted the PID Floors Environmental Roundtable Discussion 2022 at our flagship showroom, 5 West 20th Street in Manhattan.

It was a day and conversation beyond our wildest dreams.

I really enjoyed the discussion. Wood floors are the most sustainable choice. They store carbon while in use.
