The various such lines from New Jersey-based LG Floors have varying amounts of environmental benefits and LEED points. This particular line, Impression, is FloorScore-certified by the Resilient Floor Covering Institute and the independent Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) for compliance with the tough indoor air-quality emission requirements adopted by California.
It also has an ISO 14001 rating from, of course, the International Organization for Standardization, signifying it's a recognized part of a company's effort to "establish, implement, maintain and improve an environmental management system."
The roughly 18x18-inch commercial-grade tiles, which are available in 31 colors, have micro-squared edges allowing for tight seams that help prevent dirt, mildew and the like from getting in-between the tiles. While the minimum orders may be too high for average-sized co-ops and condos, you can find LG Floors tiles at commercial flooring concerns. And if nothing else, you can educate your board, property manager and any other decision-making party with FloorScore, ISO 14001 and other such new environmental standards, what they mean, and just what's out there.
