Floor brands should establish a universal value of safety and environmental protection

Among the four traditional building materials of wood, steel, plastic and cement, wood has the only low-carbon advantage of recycling, and natural wood is completely harmless to the human body. The history of human use of wood is almost through the history of human development, from the earliest apes using tree branches to find food to the piling guards of the original human cave exits, to the wooden buildings and furniture that have lasted for thousands of years, even our meals With the use of chopsticks, our survival and life have never left the wood. It's hard to imagine what kind of dilemma our life would be without wood. Should we be awesome about the wood that has been with humanity for N million years? Thank you for the gift that nature has given us.

The wood is natural and pleasant, and it is used in the home environment, which not only gives us the enjoyment of beauty, but also brings warmth and intimacy to the space. The natural texture of the wood is inlaid with the sun and the moon, and the pursuit of its imprint. We can temporarily forget the reality of the shackles and the tight suffocation brought by the steel city. It is foreseeable that based on people's return to life and calm and calm, the development of wooden flooring will not need to be depicted by numbers, because this is some kind of ultimate pursuit of human beings.

According to this logic, wood flooring is the same as our life, and its essence is far from the concept of “floor decoration materials”. Since you have the same life, you must be one with the same heart. As a manufacturer of wood flooring, safety and environmental protection should be required as a universal value. It is a duty, and it is a good and a contribution.

Resistance to environmental protection: national standards have lagged behind, reasonable and legal entanglement

The wooden floors are mainly divided into solid wood flooring, solid wood composite flooring and laminate flooring, as well as bamboo flooring and cork flooring. From the perspective of environmental protection, solid wood flooring is the most green and reliable. Several other types are prone to formaldehyde and other volatile organic compounds (VOC) because of the need to use adhesives during the production process. The amount will cause health risks to the user and even cause cancer.

In order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and regulate the development of the industry, in 2001 China began to implement the national standard GB18580-2001 (interior decoration materials, wood-based panels and their products in the formaldehyde release limit). The implementation of this standard has improved the market access threshold. Most products that do not meet the standards have been cleared out of the market, and the environmental quality of the Chinese flooring industry has been improved overall.

This standard has lagged behind as consumers' demands for a safe room environment have increased. The standard stipulates that the formaldehyde limited release value of wood-based panels (reinforced laminate flooring, solid/bamboo composite flooring, and composite cork flooring are all wood-based panels) is divided into two levels, namely E1 and E2, E2. Grade ≤ 5.0 mg / L, E1 grade is ≤ 1.5 mg / L. Although this standard stipulates the concentration of formaldehyde released from wood-based panels, it does not stipulate the total amount of control in the room, that is, only the control of unit release, but does not use the control of the total amount of wood-based panels. When the amount of wood-based panels reaches a certain level, formaldehyde The amount of release will exceed the standard.

From the legal level, if a company is legal as long as it meets the national standard, even if the total amount of formaldehyde emission exceeds the standard, the enterprise may not bear legal responsibility, but if it is morally or rationally, the enterprise can escape the legal accountability. Companies will not win the trust of consumers, and companies will also face the risk of winning the lawsuit and losing the market. Between legality and reasonableness, many companies often choose to maximize the benefits of legality. It is based on this that the pursuit of a reasonable enterprise makes us respect. Dayishu (the floor brand of Zhejiang Liangyou Wood Co., Ltd.) is such a brand. In order to make the product close to absolute safety and environmental protection, it will also practice its universal value at the cost.

Higher standards: FloorScore environmental certification guarantees indoor air

Compared with the lagging national standards, the most stringent certification system for indoor air quality in the world is the US FloorOS certification.

FloorScore is a professional certification for indoor air quality for flooring products developed by the American Science Certification System (SCS). FloorScore tests floor products that require certification and ensures that the products tested meet stringent indoor air quality volatilization requirements.

For indoor air quality, the primary concern is the release level of volatile organic compounds (eg, formaldehyde, acetone, acetic acid, acetaldehyde, benzaldehyde, etc.). In 2012, the US National Green Building Council put forward higher requirements for the environmental protection of building materials, and divided the indoor total volatile organic compound (TVOC) concentration into three grade intervals: ≤0.5 mg/m3, 0.5-4.9 mg/ Cubic meters and ≥ 5.0 mg / m3.

All flooring products certified by FloorScore Indoor Air Quality are independently certified by the US Scientific Certification System and strictly comply with the VOC emission standards set out in the 01350 project developed by the California Air Quality Council. All floor products that meet this standard will contribute to the improvement of indoor air quality and allow consumers to breathe healthily and smoothly.

Most people spend more than 90% of their time indoors, such as home, work, and school, so indoor air quality is important to architects, designers, and buyers of interior building materials. Poor indoor air quality is caused by inadequate indoor ventilation and excessive emissions of volatile organic compounds. It is well known that healthy air quality increases work efficiency, while poor indoor air can cause headaches, asthma, dizziness and other health problems. FloorScore-certified products are guaranteed for indoor air quality.

FloorScore has a huge impact on the world of flooring. The world's top three big BerryFloor, ArmstrongFloor, TarkettFloor are very focused on FloorScore. Many Asian companies cannot get the favor of these three giants because they don't have FloorScore certification. So far, there are not many companies that have obtained FloorScore certification in Asia, but a few flooring companies such as Da Yishu have obtained the certification.
