LG Hausys floors, the resilient floor covering division of LG Hausys America, Inc., has introduced a new collateral marketing and sales tool in the form of a full-color brochure highlighting in detail its environmental initiatives and the many benefits of specifying its commercial resilient flooring on projects seeking LEED certification. LG Hausys floors’ new brochure is printed on paper that has been certified by both the Forest Stewardship Council and the Rainforest Alliance for containing a minimum 10-percent post-consumer recycled content, while being elementally chlorine-free and carbon-neutral. This new brochure is available for free to all distribution partners or any party interested in LG Hausys floors’ collection of resilient flooring.
LG Hausys floors manufactures world-class resilient sheet and tile flooring for all commercial projects and residential settings with ISO-14001 and ISO-9001 certification for both environmental and quality standards. All LG Hausys flooring products and adhesives have earned FloorScore™ certification for promoting healthy indoor air as part of a low-emitting flooring system, and several of its top-selling flooring products have gained additional certificates from FloorScore for containing the required levels of post- or pre-consumer recycled content. LG Hausys floors can contribute valuable points across all LEED Green Building Rating Systems for projects seeking this prestigious distinction under the IEQ and Materials and Resources (MR) categories. LG developed the world’s first program dedicated to reclaiming previously installed resilient floors and incorporating the post-consumer waste in the production of new flooring products.
As a result of this program to reclaim old resilient materials, LG Hausys floors’ top-selling commercial sheet flooring, NATURELIFE™, has earned FloorScore certification for containing 20-percent post-consumer recycled content. LG Hausys floors’ DECO™WOOD and DECO™STONE resilient sheets products add value to LEED scoreboards with certification for containing 25-percent pre-consumer recycled content.
In addition to these benefits, LG Hausys floors NATURELIFE™ series, DECO™WOOD & STONE, IMPRESSION™, as well as its REXCOURT resilient sports flooring, have met the stringent emissions criteria to be FloorScore certified under the “Collaborative for High Performance Schools” category for all educational settings. The CHPS program is the USGBC’s first building rating system designed specifically for schools K-12. CHPS was developed according to the environmental standards established in California section 01350.
LG Hausys floors, one of the world’s foremost producers of resilient floor coverings for the residential contract and commercial marketplace, has been supplying North America with the highest-quality product lines for over a decade. The company’s manufacturing facilities use the most advanced technology to produce FloorScore certified flooring, ISO-14001 and ISO-9001 certified for both environmental and quality standards.
