Sustainability
GemStone SVT is made in the USA in an ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified plant, assuring quality and a positive environmental impact. FloorScore™ certified and featuring post-consumer recycled content, the flooring contributes to excellent indoor air quality (TVOCs<10ug/m3) and is also phthalate free. GemStone SVT is part of the Johnsonite ReStart™ Recycling and Reclamation Program, which allows for unadhered jobsite scraps to be collected and returned to the company to be repurposed for other products or uses, ultimately reducing the impact on landfill.
Notes
Underscoring Tarkett’s commitment to Balanced Choice, GemStone SVT can be paired with the company’s Cortina Grande SVT offering vast coordination possibilities. And, with the same gauge as VET and VCT, the flooring can transition seamlessly from one style to the next. GemStone SVT also coordinates beautifully with metallic finishing borders and transitions. GemStone SVT can increase productivity in high performance spaces by making people more comfortable and lowering maintenance costs. The tile’s unique construction provides higher indentation resistance and increased binder content, offering improved durability and maintenance requirements. The affordable 16” X 16” vinyl tiles are an ideal solution for heavy commercial traffic areas and less maintenance means decreased lifecycle costs.
