In the 21st century, the demand for clean, high-quality air has become more critical than ever. With pollution increasingly affecting enclosed spaces, FloorScore® certified flooring provides an eco-conscious solution for healthier environments. Let’s discover how this sustainable choice enhances air quality.
If you like to make informed choices for a healthier lifestyle, then FloorScore® flooring is for you. This innovative flooring promotes cleaner indoor environments and applies to hard flooring, underlays, and adhesives that meet strict indoor air quality (IAQ) criteria.
Developed through a partnership between the Resilient Floor Covering Institute (RFCI) and Scientific Certification Systems (SCS), the FloorScore® programme verifies that products comply with California’s stringent standards for volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. This ensures healthier indoor spaces for both homes and businesses, keeping safety a top priority.
You will be pleased to know that all FloorScore® certified flooring products meet California’s rigorous Section 01350 VOC criteria, which set science-based limits to safeguard indoor air quality. By choosing FloorScore® sustainable flooring, you are prioritising safety with the confidence that your materials won’t compromise the air you breathe.
What makes FloorScore® flooring even more impressive is that it is administered by SCS, a respected third-party certifier. The programme relies on impartial testing and auditing to uphold environmentally responsible standards. Rest assured, whether for residential or commercial use, FloorScore® certified flooring contributes to cleaner indoor air that aligns with major green building initiatives such as LEED v4.1, WELL, BREEAM, CHPS, and Green Globes. Sounds like a win-win for both your personal and professional life, doesn’t it?
Developed through years of industry research, FloorScore® flooring meets California’s stringent health-protective emissions standards, specifically tailored for flooring. As a result, it has become a trusted mark of quality for architects, builders, and eco-conscious consumers who prioritise sustainable, low-emission materials.
As we spend increasing time indoors, the quality of our indoor air and surrounding materials play a vital role in our well-being. Were you aware that poor indoor air quality has been associated with immediate symptoms like headaches and fatigue, alongside more serious chronic health conditions?
FloorScore® certified flooring directly addresses these concerns through its rigorous material standards. This globally recognised certification evaluates 35 specific volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including known carcinogens such as formaldehyde, benzene and acetaldehyde - substances that are commonly off-gas from building products. Without proper safeguards, these invisible chemical emissions can turn indoor spaces into potential health hazards.
When you choose FloorScore® non toxic flooring, you are getting more than just a beautiful floor. You will be selecting products that have passed tough, thorough testing, proving that they will keep your indoor air clean from day one. Whether it is home or work, some extra protection goes a long way, right?

At Welspun Flooring, sustainability isn't just an initiative. It is the foundation of everything we do. We operate Asia's largest integrated flooring manufacturing facility; a 300-acre Hyderabad site producing 27 million square metres annually while pioneering sustainable production standards.
Our journey toward environmental leadership has been marked by groundbreaking achievements that demonstrate our deep commitment to the planet. We proudly became the first Indian flooring manufacturer to earn LEED certification, a testament to our success in dramatically reducing water consumption, energy use, and carbon emissions across our operations. But we did not stop there. We went on to make history as the world's first company certified under SCS Global Services' rigorous Zero Waste Standard, achieving an exceptional 98% landfill diversion rate through innovative recycling programmes, waste-to-energy conversion, and circular production methods.
What makes Welspun Flooring unique is its all-encompassing focus on sustainable practices. We have implemented a comprehensive zero-waste ecosystem that begins with responsible raw material sourcing and extends through every phase of production, ensuring minimal environmental impact at each step. This closed-loop system is not just about meeting standards. It is about consistently measuring, tracking, and improving our performance to push the boundaries of what is possible in sustainable manufacturing.
While not yet widely recognised, FloorScore® flooring has emerged as an important indoor air quality standard. Established by the Resilient Floor Covering Institute (RFCI) and the SCS Global Services, the certification specifically evaluates hard flooring materials and adhesives for their volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, which is a key contributor to poor indoor air quality.
This emphasis on healthier indoor environments fits seamlessly with Welspun Flooring's philosophy. For architects, designers, and eco-conscious consumers around the world, our FloorScore® certified flooring products offer more than just a premium sustainable option. Each product reflects our belief that sustainability and excellence can and should go hand in hand, because true style should never cost the planet.
