GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - Solar panels, recycled tile, cork flooring. The Home Improvement and Remodeling Expo at the Two Rivers Convention Center is showcasing more green vendors than ever before.

Ninety-five vendors are participating in the 2010 Home Expo. Many who are focusing on remodeling with green products.

This year Mohawk Floorz is showcasing a line of carpet called Sorona. It's a carpet made from corn.

"We just had a testimony from a customer this morning who gave it to her kids. They tore it apart. Warm water, you can't stain this product. So it's a great, great product and it's priced for everybody's budget," says Ron Gookin, owner of Mohawk Floorz.

The expo is put on by the Housing and Building Association of Northwestern Colorado and goes through Sunday, March 7th at 4 pm.
