GREENGUARD Certication for
Flooring
While all types of products can off-gas potentially harmful
pollutants, market research shows that people are acutely aware
of emissions associated with ooring, not surprisingly, then, people
are extremely interested in low-emitting product options. In fact,
a steadily increasing number of sustainable building programs,
codes, procurement policies and governmental and corporate
specications are now incorporating emissions criteria. This gives
a clear competitive edge to manufacturers that can provide
purchasers and end-users with the lowest-emitting products.
