Sustainability and environmental impact have always been important to us at SelecTech. While we know that our products are the responsible choice, we appreciate it when external organizations acknowledge our commitment to sustainability. We’re recognized in our industry as an innovative manufacturer, and now we can share that we received a verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for our EcoLock™ flooring. This verification provides transparency to architects, designers, and builders, enabling them to make informed, sustainable choices when selecting materials for their projects. EcoLock, along with our other commercial interlocking flooring products, is a durable flooring option that also contributes to a building’s sustainability.
What makes EcoLock flooring stand out from other commercial interlocking flooring products? Let’s take a look at its key features.
EcoLock Flooring: Sustainable Features
Our EcoLock flooring has multiple features and characteristics that contribute to its sustainability. They include:
- Made with 80% rapidly renewable content
- Contributes to LEED® points
- No glue or adhesives required for installation
- Vinyl-free
- Red List-free
What Does “Red List-Free” Mean?
Most of our customers are familiar with the first four items on that list, but what about the last one? What does it mean to be “Red List-free”? The Red List is a list of chemical substances that pose the highest risk to human health and the environment. In the past, manufacturers used these substances in their products because they were cheap and effective. However, now that we are aware of the dangers they pose, industries are moving away from them. Some industries and manufacturers are moving faster than others, and SelecTech is proud to lead the way to sustainability and environmental safety with our innovative products, including EcoLock.
More Benefits of EcoLock
Aside from its considerable sustainability and environmental benefits, EcoLock flooring offers several additional features that make it a desirable option. Here’s how it stands out, even from our other interlocking flooring products:
- Quick and easy installation
- Noise reduction
- Superior underfoot comfort
- Stain resistance
- Easy, no-wax maintenance
- 10-year commercial warranty
