Bauwerk Parquet receives FloorScore certification
The floor covering manufacturer Bauwerk Parquet has received FloorScore certification for low-emissivity floor coverings for its entire parquet range. The product range from Bauwerk includes more than 350 items.
According to a press release, Bauwerk Parquet receives FloorScore certification for its entire parquet range. FloorScore is a seal of approval for low-emission floor coverings. It is the highest recognized indoor air quality (IAQ) certification standard in the United States, the release said. Regular audits of the production facilities are therefore also part of the certification.
At Bauwerk Parquet, all parquet floors, including 2-layer, 3-layer and solid parquet, are now awarded FloorScore. The certification program is beneficial when building classification programs such as LEED are required, the media release said. Products certified with this label qualified for many sustainable building concepts, including LEED and BREEAM. LEED is an abbreviation for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, a classification system for energy-saving construction. BREEAM is a global program for environmental assessments of buildings.
By its own account, Bauwerk Parquet has long been a leader in the field of healthy living and underlines this through systematic checks by independent third parties, such as the eco-INSTITUT, the Sentinel Haus Institute and now also the SCS Global Services in California, which issue the FloorScore certification, confirm .
According to the company, more than 60 percent of the Bauwerk parquet products are manufactured in St.Margrethen. The parent company, the Bauwerk Group, operates two additional plants in Lithuania and Croatia, as well as two production facilities in the US states of Kentucky and Tennessee in the USA. In 2021, the Bauwerk Group sold around 9.3 million square meters of parquet.
