FSC Chain of Custody Certification Given to First Laminate Flooring Company

Wilsonart Flooring is the first laminate flooring manufacturer to earn Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) chain of custody certification, ensuring that products marked with the recognizable FSC "checkmark and tree" ecologo were sourced from responsibly managed forests. Through the use of materials from well-managed forests and recycled sources, Wilsonart offers High Pressure Laminate (HPL) Flooring manufactured in the USA that provides a responsible solution for green building projects.  Wilsonart Flooring may contribute to LEED credits under MR Credit 7: Certified Wood and MR 4: Recycled Content."

Wilsonart Flooring is mostly targeted towards commercial clients.  All Wilsonart Flooring is rated for commercial use and is suitable for corporate, healthcare, hospitality, retail, education and multi-family housing segments.

FSC is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental organization whose mission is to support environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable management of the world's forests. "Achieving this standard for our HPL flooring is a major achievement, given its inherent thickness and the greater complexity of layers necessary to achieve our flooring's standards for durability, performance and longevity, while also meeting FSC chain of custody requirements," said Joe Branch, Manager of Technology of Wilsonart Flooring. "We are proud to be the HPL manufacturer that establishes this industry benchmark."
