Mohawk, Quick-Step & Columbia laminate earn floorscore certification
Mohawk, Quick-Step, and Columbia laminate have recently earned the highly-coveted FloorScore certification by passing one of the most stringent indoor air quality certification programs in the world. FloorScore tests for 78 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), some of which are identified as known carcinogens or reproductive toxins. (A carcinogen is a cancer causing substance and a reproductive toxin is a chemical that can damage the reproductive systems of children and adults.) All Mohawk, Quick-Step, and Columbia laminate products are officially FloorScore certified.
“FloorScore is a prestigious distinction regarding indoor air quality and is recognized as one of the most credible certification programs in the United States,” said Roger Farabee, senior vice president of marketing for Unilin, the parent company of Mohawk, Quick-Step, and Columbia laminate brands. “Flooring that has earned FloorScore certification enjoys a legitimately enhanced market position, distinguished by the FloorScore certification label.”“Unilin takes very seriously our position as an industry leader when it comes to all aspects of environmental responsibility,” said Farabee. “We have continuously focused our efforts on producing Mohawk, Quick-Step, and Columbia laminate products that are both stylish and environmentally sound. Families living on our laminate flooring can have peace of mind that they are bringing a product into their home that meets strict indoor air quality standards.”
