BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE - for healthy environments and a sustainable world Sustainability at Tarkett is more than just environmentally friendly products. We have adopted the Cradle to Cradle approach from product design to end-of-use to ensure that flooring becomes the beginning of something new again. That means no waste, just nutrients for new products. This approach helps us preserve our planet’s resources and ensures a better quality of life for future generations.

CHOOSING GOOD MATERIALS We focus on using natural and renewable raw materials in our products. They are safe for people and the environment and are capable of being reused as industrial or biological ingredients. We proudly communicate these values on our Balanced Choice tags. All our products are REACH compliant and we strive to go beyond current norms, for example using natural or non-phthalate plasticizers in a significant part of our vinyl flooring range.

USING NATURAL RESOURCES EFFECTIVELY Tarkett is committed to using natural resources more responsibly, for example by reducing water and energy in the manufacturing of flooring. But we aim to go further. We continually improve our energy consumption, water usage and waste generation through programs like reusing scrap for power generation, temperature control systems and industrial water treatment and water recycling systems.

CREATING SAFER AND HEALTHIER SPACES We’ve focused on indoor air quality because it has a direct impact on human health. Our flooring solutions have emissions below current European standards or even below quantifiable level. We develop our flooring with surface treatments that significantly reduce chemical detergents and water and energy required for cleaning, typically saving up to 30% on maintenance budgets. By offering alternative laying techniques such as click systems, loose-lay and aerosol adhesive, we reduce the use of glue and make installation easier, more economic and environmentally-friendly.

DEVELOPING REUSE AND RECYCLING Reusing waste in new ways avoids landfill. Our ReUse program starts even earlier: by returning installation waste to the manufacturing site to be recycled into new products.

This idea isn’t new: Tarkett started recycling materials as early as in 1957 and continues to lead the industry in the recycling of flooring.

TARKETT’S BALANCED CHOICE Our Balanced Choice tags provide simple and transparent information for our customers about the content of our products and how they contribute to sustainable development.

Our linoleum and wood flooring made in Europe are already certified at Silver level under the Cradle to Cradle program for their sustainable approach Choosing good materials that become safe reusable nutrients 4

ENGINEERED WOOD NATURAL BEAUTY

When it comes to the authenticity of a natural product, nothing can rival the beauty of wood – the original choice for flooring material. With over 120 years experience, Tarkett has developed in-depth expertise in the properties and qualities of wood, ensuring that our products offer the best possible construction techniques and surface treatments.

With Tarkett the possibilities are endless, with a range comprising 200 different varieties. Choose from classic and new exciting wood species with different colours, shapes, finishes and character. Choose between gradings that provide appearances rich in variation and different number of strips in the board to create a calm or lively design.

Tarkett has developed Proteco – the strongest surface protection on the market today. With a choice of glossy and matt lacquers, plus a hardwax oil, there is the right solution for every location.

Wood is a natural and renewable material that Tarkett sources from forests and areas that are PFEC and FSC certified or meet our very strict demands on sustainable forestry.

Installation is easy with a choice of 2 smart, easy to use, solutions to lock the boards closely and evenly together without any edges.

MULTILAYER CONSTRUCTION All Tarkett Wood flooring are “multi layer” constructions (engineered construction). This was invented and patented by Tarkett in 1942.

It is a fact that wood swells at high humidity and shrinks at low humidity. To minimise this natural movement our wooden floors are built up in three layers.

Ensuring there are vertical annual rings in the middle layer and alternating the direction of the fibres in the three layers is an efficient way of counteracting the movement in the wood, creating a balanced floor.

Proteco The most hard-wearing surface treatment on the market Makes your wooden floor easy to care for Three finishes - glossy, matt or hardwax oil Accentuates the grain and structure of the wood Protects against small scratches Prolongs life of the floor

TARKOSPRAY ADHESIVE TarkoSpray is a revolutionary high grade acrylic adhesive delivered in an aerosol can. The product content is water based with the same type of propellant as inhalers for asthmatics. Tarkospray aerosol glue is an innovation for the flooring industry, making messy, heavy tins of glue and trowels a thing of the past Tarkospray is ideal for smaller areas and minimises tenant disruption.

Easy and safe Spray and Lay – Easy No tools required No more messy buckets and trowels Zero CFCs No harmful odours or fumes Non flammable

TARKOLAY FOR ADVANCED LOOSE LAYING Tarkolay has been developed for advance problem solving loose laying when there is moisture in the subfloor.

Tarkolay is loose laid and then the Tarkett floorcovering is bonded to it.

SOLVES MOISTURE PROBLEMS Moisture in concrete substrates has a high ph and therefore attacks the adhesive, which in turn affects the flooring material. This can cause high levels of unhealthy, allergenic and foul smelling emissions. Tarkolay solves these problems. Tarkolay is moisture resistant and its construction allows ventilation between the flooring material and the subfloor. Tarkolay withstands moisture levels up to 96% RH.
