How to defend your flooring spec with verified data

You’ve selected a floor that meets the project requirements.

Then D&C starts.

A cheaper alternative lands on the table, and suddenly you need to explain why the original specification should stay.

That conversation is easier when the sustainability case is backed by independently verified data.

That’s where an Environmental Product Declaration, or EPD, comes in.

An EPD quantifies a product’s environmental impact across its life cycle using independently audited data calculated to an international standard.

For a specifier, that gives you evidence you can put behind the decision.

An EPD can help you:

✔ Support sustainability claims with verified data

✔ Provide documentation for Green Star, LEED and WELL requirements

✔ Respond to increasingly detailed client and government briefs

✔ Assess environmental claims without relying on manufacturer marketing.

We’ll unpack that number in the next email

For now, you can access the verified EPDs for Artigo rubber flooring, including 2mm, 3mm and 5mm products.

Keep the data on hand for your next specification review.
