Sustainability
Metroflor Corp.’s Aspecta views sustainability as a fourth pillar of excellence in the luxury vinyl flooring business. The company has viewed all its policies, products and processes through a green lens. Third party verification supports the truthfulness and accuracy of their environmental initiatives. The plant has attained ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 along with Platinum NSF 332 resilient flooring certification for Aspecta’s tiles and planks, which together with their adhesives are FloorScore certified to assure strict quality standards and good indoor air quality. Aspecta was bestowed NSF 332 Platinum Certification, the highest under the standard and the first resilient flooring to receive it.In terms of manufacturing, ASPECTA only uses 100% virgin vinyl, non phthalate plasticizers and urethane ceramic bead coating.End of life matters to Aspecta, too. A one-call reclamation process enables contractors to return installation cuttings or replaced vinyl flooring to the company to be processed into vinyl products. Metroflor Corp. uses the latest manufacturing techniques to minimize emissions and water consumption, increasing its use of renewable energy. The holistic approach to environmental concerns embraced green construction, so they built their Calhoun, Georgia office to attain LEED Platinum certification status.
