If you work in an office or have children in school where new flooring is installed - or if you are simply concerned about indoor air quality - the FloorScore seal means you can “breathe easier” because the floor meets the requirements of California Section 1350 which has been adopted by CHPS.

Healthy air contributes to better learning in schools, improved productivity in offices and more comfortable homes. Poor IAQ can be a factor in a variety of health problems, such as headaches and dizziness and more serious long-term effects.

Indoor air quality (IAQ) in a building depends on many factors, including:
How well the HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system and filters are maintained,
How well and how often the rooms are cleaned,
The people, activities and furnishings in the building,
The outdoor environment, and
Surfaces and finishes throughout.

In terms of IAQ, one issue is the emission level of particular volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Many currently available resilient flooring materials and their adhesives are low emitting.
