| Article | Healthier Choice Flooring is a leading manufacturer of premium carpet cushion, acoustical underlayment and specialty flooring accessories for residential, commercial and hospitality applications. Family owned and operated, Healthier Choice Flooring was established in 1972 and is headquartered in Dalton, Ga., the heart of floor covering manufacturing in the United States. Healthier Choice Premium Carpet Cushion and Sound Solution Premium Acoustical Underlayment are simply the greenest, most durable products of their kind. Manufactured in a zero-landfill facility they are made with over 50% natural resources, including soybean oil, which lessens dependence on petrochemicals and reduces global warming emissions. Ultra-Fresh antimicrobial is incorporated throughout the products to prevent the growth of odor and stain causing mold, mildew and bacteria. And MoistureBloc foam allows cushions to act like a breathable spill-proof moisture barrier that is impervious to liquid spills while allowing vapor from beneath to escape and evaporate. In addition to being Green Label Plus certified by the Carpet & Rug Institute (CRI), they are the only cushions and underlayments that are GreenGuard Indoor Air Quality and GreenGuard Children & Schools certified, an assurance of the lowest VOCs in the industry. Backed by the strongest warranties in the industry, Healthier Choice cushions and underlayments are guaranteed for the life of the floor they are installed under, including high traffic areas and stairs. And all residential cushions carry the unique 2X Double Carpet Warranty, which doubles the texture retention warranty of all brands of carpet installed over it. The combination of innovative green features and unrivaled performance and durability allow these products to contribute to multiple credits under the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system. Healthier Choice Flooring also manufactures Flexitions, the flooring industry’s one and only stainable flexible transition molding product line. Developed for use with a variety of flooring applications such as hardwood and laminate, Flexitions is the solution to installation headaches when dealing with a curve, arch or radius—great for style and design, as well. Available in T-molding, threshold, reducer, stair nose and quarter round profiles, Flexitions can be stained and finished to match and coordinate floor coverings such as wood, laminate, tile, vinyl, stone and more. Flexitions takes stain just like natural wood and is available in three natural wood grains and textures making for a more natural look and feel when stained and finished. Flexitions is also available in standard factory applied colors. Called Flexitions Fifteen, these standard colors coordinate with the majority of wood flooring sold today.
