CHICAGO, I.L. – Greenbuild International Conference & Expo (NOVEMBER 9, 2010) – Gerflor, a global leader in the design and manufacture of specialized resilient flooring, today announced its attendance at Greenbuild 2010 in Chicago at McCormick Place, 2301 S. Lake Shore Drive, on November 16-18 in booth 591. Coming off a successful NeoCon East tradeshow, Gerflor will once again showcase its Saga² product line made with a recycled cork backing to enhance comfort, warmth, low acoustic conductivity, true compressibility and low environmental impact.

“Our Saga² LVT line is a great complement to Gerflor’s traditional vinyl sheet lines with its contemporary design and ease of installation making it an ideal solution for new projects, renovations, and a variety of room settings in healthcare, education, corporate and retail environments” says Ken Chmura, Gerflor USA General Manager. “Add to this its recyclability and patented no-polish-for-life treatment Protecsol and you get an easy to maintain, durable, environmentally friendly flooring solution.”

Gerflor’s new Tarasafe product will also be on preview as the industry’s first vinyl safety flooring to include a slip resistant crystallized mineral particle. The crystallized particle, instead of the industry standard carborundum, gives way to increased shine and more vibrant colors to provide architects and designers richer, deeper colors when designing commercial spaces where anti-slip flooring is desired. Tarasafe is also the first 100% recyclable vinyl safety flooring with no special reclamation machinery needed at the end of its lifecycle.

Rounding out the products on display at Greenbuild, will be Gerflor’s Floorscore certified Mipolam and Taralay Compact lines ideally suited for high traffic environments such as healthcare and educational facilities.
