Metroflor recently issued a Declare label for its rigid core flooring, Metroflor’s Aspecta Ten, a multilayer flooring product that features the company’s ISOCORE Technology. Innovation in sustainability also fueled the development of ISOCORE, according to the company; the plasticizer-free and phthalate-free cellular vinyl core is produced from 100% recyclable, first-generation vinyl. The decision was made to forgo the use of recycled content to avoid contamination from predecessor phthalates.
“We are excited that we can offer such a valuable label that meets this intense need in the marketplace, as many designers and architects are becoming acquainted with this new category of rugged yet beautiful flooring,” said Rochelle Routman, chief sustainability officer for Metroflor.
