Use: our products to reduce our environmental impact

As a major innovation in our market, we are developing loose-lay products that do not require any glue. Snap-together tiles, textile-backed rolls or sealing technical tiles: we offer several loose-lay ranges. In addition to the ecological aspect, the advantage of this non-adhesive installation is threefold:

• reduced VOC emissions related to glues
• easy and quick to install
• easy to reuse and recycle

Does your space require installation using glue? We recommend the use of solvent-free, low VOC emission acrylic adhesives that are EMICODE EC1 and EC1 PLUS certified.

In order to reduce installation waste, we offer our customers a pre-cutting service prior to shipment, or a custom-length manufacturing service. Through this scheme, we can help our partners to limit product waste.

This service is offered in particular for our Taraflex sports range. Our products on rolls, distributed by home improvement superstores and decoration specialists, can also be cut in our plants to the dimensions requested by the end customer.

To improve the visual comfort of users and to reduce energy consumption related to lighting, we have worked on the light reflection of our floors and our colors.

Compared to a dark color, a light color can provide a 60% reduction in lighting-related energy consumption.

With light reflectance values (LRVs) ranging from 6% to 86%, Gerflor offers a wide range of colors allowing architects to select flooring that is best-suited to the lighting conditions of each project.
