Design for the Well-Being of Your Family with Sustainable Flooring & Design

At Metroflor, we recognize that the materials you stand on every day impact the health of your environment and your family’s peace of mind.

Many homeowners ask, "What is sustainable flooring?” and “How does it affect my daily life?"

We believe sustainable flooring isn't just about the environment; it’s about creating a safe, transparent, and high-performing space for the people you love.

Putting people first means ensuring that our sustainable flooring options meet the rigorous demands of your household while respecting the planet we share.

What is Sustainable Flooring?

 

Sustainable flooring refers to materials designed, manufactured, and distributed with a primary focus on environmental stewardship and human health.

At its core, it means choosing a product that is transparent about its chemistry—being free of harmful heavy metals, phthalates, and formaldehyde—while ensuring the manufacturing process respects both the planet and the people involved.

Is Sustainability Really That Important?

 

In the world of home improvement, it’s easy to get caught up in aesthetics and price points, but we believe sustainability is still an important "hidden" feature of your floor.

When we ask, "Is vinyl flooring sustainable?", we aren't just talking about carbon footprints—we are talking about the long-term health of your indoor environment.

A floor that isn't built responsibly can off-gas harmful chemicals into the air your family breathes every day. Choosing sustainable flooring options is an investment in your family's future and your home's air quality.

Metroflor Offers Transparency in Every Plank

 

At Metroflor, we take our responsibility seriously by ensuring our products are phthalate-free, formaldehyde-free, and free of heavy metals.

We prioritize transparency and safety so you can have peace of mind knowing that what you stand on is what we stand for. True sustainability means a product is safe for the people who make it, the people who install it, and the family that lives on it for years to come.

Health You Can Breathe: FloorScore® and ASSURE Certified™

 

We take our responsibility to your home’s air quality seriously. Ensuring our products meet the highest safety standards is at the heart of our mission.

• FloorScore® Certified: All Metroflor products are FloorScore® certified, meaning they have been independently tested and meet strict indoor air quality requirements.
• ASSURE Certified™: All of our rigid core products (like Inception and Genesis) also carry this certification, which screens for heavy metals and ortho-phthalates.

 

By prioritizing sustainable flooring, we provide a foundation that supports a healthier breathing environment for your children and pets.

 

Performance That Lasts: The Watertight Wellness Advantage

 

Wellness also means a home free from hidden issues like trapped moisture. Our Inception and Genesis brands feature watertight locking systems. This technology ensures that topical spills stay on the surface and don't seep into the joints to reach the subfloor during normal use.

While this doesn't waterproof your subfloor, it helps maintain a cleaner, healthier environment by keeping moisture where you can see it and clean it easily.

Furthermore, we rely on our high-performance finishes (like our FX2 finish) to act as the primary defense against daily scuffs and surface scratches. This durability ensures your floor stays in your home longer, which is the ultimate goal of any sustainable flooring option.
