Choose FloorScore® Certified Flooring for a Healthier Home


When it comes to staying healthy, we often think about eating right, exercising, and regular check-ups. But what about the air we breathe indoors? It’s a crucial but often overlooked factor in our well-being. That’s where FloorScore® certification comes in.

FloorScore certification is awarded to flooring that has met the indoor air quality (IAQ) requirements. Considering that you spend most of your time indoors, having poor air quality can adversely affect your health.



Understanding FloorScore® Certification:

FloorScore® certification is like a stamp of approval, indicating that a flooring product meets strict standards set by SCS Global Services. It’s all about making sure that the product won’t release harmful chemicals into the air in your home, known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs). So, when you see that FloorScore® seal, you can trust that the flooring will help keep your indoor air quality in check.

How It Works:

To get FloorScore® certified, products undergo thorough testing by SCS Global Services. They look at reports on VOC emissions to make sure they meet the standards laid out by the California Section 01350 program. Plus, they keep an eye on manufacturing processes to ensure everything stays up to par.

Why It Matters:

Good indoor air quality means healthier living. By choosing FloorScore® certified products, you’re reducing your exposure to harmful VOCs, like formaldehyde, commonly found in building materials. These chemicals can cause everything from headaches to more serious health issues over time. So, opting for certified flooring is a smart move for your well-being.

Why Choose FloorScore® Certified Flooring?

Many people don’t realize the impact that good indoor air quality has on their life. Studies have shown that good IAQ promotes learning in schools and boosts productivity at work. Conversely, poor IAQ is often associated with headaches, dizziness, and several long-term effects on your health.

FloorScore® isn’t just about quality—it’s about caring for your health and the environment. That’s why many folks, from architects to homeowners, prefer certified materials. They know it’s a step towards creating safer, healthier indoor spaces.

Purchasing flooring products that bear the FloorScore® seal is the first step to ensuring good indoor air quality in your home, office, or other building. You can then improve on it through proper air ventilation, using good air filters, and maintaining your HVAC system regularly.
