Helping in the Transformation to Healthier, Sustainable Buildings

Action Floors is committed to innovation and the manufacture of products that support a greener AND healthier environment. Not only are there financial and environmental benefits of green and healthy building practices, employee productivity and general mental health has been shown to improve and maintain over time.

As green building continues to evolve, more emphasis is being placed on the construction of structures that are sustainable and healthier. Buildings committed to providing a healthier environment include features such as incorporating in more daylighting, designing for areas that encourage physical activity, and low or zero volatile organic compounds (VOC). For example, volatile organic compounds can be found in paints, particle materials, and adhesives.

According to the Dodge Data & Analytics: The Drive Toward Healthier Buildings 2016 report, the top feature most likely to increase in the next five years for building projects is enhanced air quality.

Almost two thirds, or 64%, of respondents in the study believe enhanced air quality will be an important feature of their projects. Respondents included US building owners, architects, interior designers and contractors. Feedback from this group suggests that improved air quality will be become a common feature, and will be an expected feature in the near future.

Action Floors can meet today’s rigorous indoor air quality (IAQ) emission requirements of architects and building owners. We are a provider of FloorScore®-certified flooring.
