GREENGUARD Gold Certified Flooring

GREENGUARD Gold Certified flooring has been independently tested to meet rigorous standards for low volatile organic compound, or VOC, emissions. For homeowners shopping for new floors, the certification is a helpful way to understand how a product has been evaluated for indoor air quality.

All Floor & Decor laminate, vinyl, and hybrid resilient flooring products are GREENGUARD Gold Certified. That gives eco-conscious shoppers more to consider than color and style alone when choosing flooring for the rooms they use every day.

GREENGUARD Gold is a third-party certification from UL Solutions. Products carrying the certification are tested in independent ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories for VOC emissions.

When you’re comparing flooring, GREENGUARD Gold certification gives you a clear way to identify products that have been independently tested for low VOC emissions. For eco-conscious homeowners, parents with little ones spending plenty of time close to the floor, or anyone who takes a more thoughtful approach to the materials they bring home, it is a useful detail to keep in mind.

Floor & Decor’s laminate, vinyl, and hybrid resilient flooring products meet the GREENGUARD Gold standard. With that detail in place, the next step is choosing the floor that works best for the project. A busy kitchen may call for a water-resistant option, while a bedroom or living room may be driven more by the look and feel homeowners want underfoot.

Consider the room, the amount of foot traffic it sees, how the flooring will be installed, and the budget for the project. Use those project details to narrow your flooring options, then compare color, finish, and performance features within the GREENGUARD Gold Certified assortment.

Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are gases released from some natural and manufactured materials at room temperature. They can be present in many everyday indoor environments, including clothing, household products, furniture, paint, and building materials. Some VOCs have a noticeable odor, while others do not.

Because flooring covers a large area of the home, VOC emissions may be one consideration when comparing materials for a renovation or new space. GREENGUARD Gold certification helps shoppers understand that a product has been independently tested to meet strict standards for low VOC emissions.

More information about VOCs and GREENGUARD Gold testing is available through UL Solutions’ GREENGUARD Certification resources.

GREENGUARD and GREENGUARD Gold are both UL Solutions certifications for low chemical emissions from interior products. The main difference is that GREENGUARD Gold uses more stringent emission limits and is designed to support use in sensitive indoor environments, including homes, schools, and healthcare facilities.

For flooring shoppers, GREENGUARD Gold offers a higher standard for evaluating VOC emissions. Floor & Decor chose the Gold standard for its laminate, vinyl, and hybrid resilient flooring products so customers can factor low-emission testing into their flooring decision alongside the style, performance, and needs of their space.

GREENGUARD Gold aligns with the California Department of Public Health Section 01350 test method and includes additional protective levels for common indoor pollutants not listed in that method.

Floor & Decor’s laminate flooring meets the GREENGUARD Gold standard, giving homeowners a low-emission option as they compare flooring for bedrooms, living rooms, hallways, and more. Laminate is worth considering for its wood-look styles, durable surface, and range of colors and finishes that can work with nearly any room design.

Floor & Decor’s vinyl flooring meets the GREENGUARD Gold standard, offering low-emission options for rooms throughout the home. Homeowners often choose luxury vinyl plank (LVP) for its realistic wood looks and water-resistant performance in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and other high-traffic spaces.

Floor & Decor’s hybrid resilient flooring also meets the GREENGUARD Gold standard. Explore hybrid resilient flooring in a range of styles to find an option that fits the look and needs of your space.
