Flooring that Supports Healthier Spaces

Tarkett‘s Powerbond RS flooring is the world’s first soft surface flooring to be certified as asthma and allergy-friendly.

In addition to its research-backed design, which is scientifically proven to help mitigate against indoor asthma and allergy irritants, Powerbond RS is made with low volatile organic compounds, including its pre-applied adhesive, and from recycled materials. It’s also free of ortho-phthalates.

Powerbond RS is a hybrid resilient flooring, meaning it combines the look and feel of carpet with the durability and cleanability of a resilient surface. Developed with an impermeable, closed-cell cushion backing and installed with chemically welded seams, it provides a wall-to-wall moisture barrier to prevent mould and mildew. In addition, the product’s low pile height allows for the easy removal of dust and allergens. In testing, 95 per cent of allergens were removed effectively with a simple dry vacuuming.

All Powerbond RS designs are also protected with Eco-Ensure, a proprietary, fluorine-free, anti-soil chemistry that provides enhanced soil protection and removal, as well as durability to foot traffic. Eco-Ensure is Cradle to Cradle-certified platinum in the material health category.
