GERFLOR REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT “TO GO FURTHER” WITH SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES

VOC Emissions Extremely Low On Leading Vinyl Flooring Products

Gerflor vinyl flooring regularly assessed in accordance with the ISO 16000 standards for indoor air quality, at both 3 and 28 days, have proven to rank among the product ranges with the lowest VOC emissions on the market.  Gerflor’s VOC emissions of less than 100μg/m3 (TVOC after 28 days) mean that its flooring has ten times less emissions than what’s currently regulated by European standards.  Products like the 100% bio-based Mipolam Symbioz vinyl flooring barely register on VOC emission measurement devices and translate to optimum indoor air quality. All Gerflor products are FloorScore certified and provide clean, safe solutions for commercial, multipurpose and sports environments.

“Our motto ‘to go further’ demonstrates our commitment to go above and beyond industry regulations as it relates to sustainability,” says USA General Manager Ken Chmura. “Our entire process from manufacturing and installation, provide the whole picture to architects, designers and facility managers when it comes to selecting a floor with minimal environmental impact. What’s more, our environmental policy proves our commitment to improving indoor air quality inside schools, healthcare facilities and gymnasiums by offering products with very low VOC emissions.”
