Tarkett has once again proven its commitment to creating healthier living environments with the launch of its new Preserved Treasures™ collection.
Tarkett’s Preserved Treasures™ Collection has a certified Asthma & Allergy Friendly® option
Designed particularly for life-plan communities, the collection includes a Powerbond® option, certified by the Asthma & Allergy Friendly® Certification Program, reflecting Tarkett’s dedication to using materials that promote better indoor air quality.
Powerbond® flooring is a hybrid resilient flooring, meaning it combines the look and feel of carpet with the durability and cleanability of resilient flooring. Manufactured with an impermeable backing and installed with chemically welded seams, it provides a wall-to-wall moisture barrier to prevent mildew and mold. Furthermore, its low pile height means that dust and allergen can be easily removed. In fact, in testing 95 percent of allergens were removed effectively with simple dry vacuuming. This makes it a great choice for life-plan communities and homes with pets or service animals.
We know that exposure to indoor air pollutants, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can potentially lead to exacerbation of asthma, allergies and other respiratory illnesses: Powerbond RS is made with low VOCs, including its pre-applied adhesive, ensuring the product installs quickly and contributes to healthy indoor air quality over the life of the floor.
Tarkett’s focus on the circular economy and its commitment to responsible recycling through the ReStart® program further highlights their dedication to the environment and the communities they serve. With a history of 140 years, Tarkett is a worldwide leader in innovative flooring and sports surface solutions, and their innovative approach to flooring truly aligns with the values of health and sustainability making Tarkett a trusted partner for those looking to create spaces that support health and wellbeing.
We are very proud that our certified partner Tarkett is paving the way for better flooring solutions that care for our most vulnerable populations.
