Sustainable flooring is a mark of conscious, evolutionary, and intelligent design – focusing on modern convenience, without overusing resources available to us. More than a trending concept, sustainable flooring matters greatly for businesses and their workspace settings – it is the need of the hour and represents the way forward.
The label of ‘eco-friendly’ can certainly elevate a company’s position in the business market. There’s a responsibility to be environmentally aware for the sake of our shared world and future generations. It’s important to follow the global push towards eco-friendly flooring as it invites companies like ours to be creative with path-breaking sustainable commercial flooring solutions.
Sustainable flooring is constructed with materials and finishes that have a low environmental impact – this flooring is built to last long with minimal maintenance, ultimately outweighing the possibility of frequent replacement and so forth.
At Welspun Flooring, we offer stone polymer composite tiles that are engineered to be flame-resistant, impact-resistant, skid-proof, termite-resistant, and waterproof. Our Click-N-Lock® SPC tiles (Wood & Stone) are also crafted with our Wel-lock™ technology, making installation dust-free and fast. This low-VOC flooring emits little to no volatile organic compounds that can otherwise trigger allergies, headaches, and other health-related issues.
What backs our sustainable commercial flooring is its integrated underlayment of IXPE backing, IXPE foam protects SPC flooring from potential moisture and water damage.
The good news about sustainable flooring is that a lot of businesses within sectors like hospitality and real estate, extending to the New Age industry, are investing in eco-friendly commercial flooring. With the promise of a significantly reduced carbon footprint and less waste, companies prefer the greenest flooring options for their clients and employees.
Spaces like advertising agencies, art galleries, eco-friendly resorts, start-ups, wellness stays, and yoga studios receive a lot of foot traffic. The people who work in these professions and those who visit (clients, customers, guests) are environmentally aware, and some, important decision-makers in their respective fields. The choice of sustainable flooring, in this aspect, builds credibility. It also communicates your environmental consciousness and readiness for the future.
Environmental impact concerns everyone, and it matters when we, as responsible businesses, can set needed changes in motion. Opting for eco-friendly commercial flooring is a positive investment for your brand – it reflects what your company stands for.
There are economic advantages to sustainable flooring, too: lower maintenance and replacement costs. All Welspun Flooring materials are designed to be invested in – maintenance is hassle-free and minimal.
ESG reporting is the disclosure of environmental, social, and corporate governance data. A company’s sustainability measures are important because, through ESG reporting, companies not only indicate their commitment to sustainability but also disclose the business practices they uphold to be considerate of the environment. This helps companies build long-term value, establish themselves in competitive markets, and gain more opportunities for growth and innovation.
Our Welspun Flooring manufacturing facility is LEED BD+C v4 certified – this building certification certifies that our practices reduce stress on the environment by lowering carbon dioxide emissions. Further aligning with global green building goals, we also designed Welspun Ecolite™. Welspun Ecolite™ is crafted out of sustainable flooring materials such as lightweight PVC that ensures a 40% less environmental footprint than traditional carpets. Welspun Ecolite™ greenest flooring is CRI Green Label Plus certified.
Our carpet, adhesive, and cushion products meet stringent criteria for low chemical emissions. We hold the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification for product safety. This label classifies Welspun Flooring’s Carpet Tiles as non-toxic flooring. Engineered with HealthyFloor™ technology – this coating makes our carpet tiles anti-viral and anti-microbial. They also absorb carbon dioxide, reduce air pollution, and improve air quality – making good sense for confined residential spaces.
Welspun Flooring Carpet Tiles are manufactured with a Highly Resistant Fibre called Ny6+™ – giving our Carpet Tiles features like abrasion resistance, fade resistance, stain resistance, strength, and texture resistance. This reduces their likelihood of frequent replacement, and they can be recycled over time as well. We also hold the FloorScore® certification, the most recognised Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) certification standard for adhesives, hard surface flooring materials, and underlayment layers.
Combined with the right practices and certifications, a sustainability-friendly business approach is the way to go. Not only can it help your company meet sustainability benchmarks, but it also communicates credibility to the clients, organisations, and vendors you foster connections with.
