Dec. 21, 2009 - PRLog -- QuickStep's patented locking system eliminates the introduction of VOCs typically associated with installation adhesives. All QuickStep® laminate wood flooring and laminate tile flooring manufactured after January 1, 2009 are California 93120 Phase 1 compliant for formaldehyde emissions.

Aside from creating a revolutionary locking system, Quickstep is also leading the way by constantly seeking new ways to recycle, reduce, reuse, recover and renew. "The next time you step on a friend's or neighbor's laminate floor in their kitchen or entry way or another room in the house you are stepping on perhaps one of the most recycled flooring products in America today," quotes Greg Gilmartin, marketing communications director for Express Flooring (http://www.expressflooring.com/) in Phoenix, Arizona.

When sourcing materials, QuickStep selects renewable, fast-growing southern pine exclusively for their U.S.-produced core boards. Seventy-four percent of Quick Step's U.S.-produced laminate boards are made of pre-consumer (post-industrial) wood waste. Not one exotic tree is harvested from the rainforest to create their beautiful exotic laminate floors.

During manufacturing, the rejected laminate flooring products are integrated into the chipboard factory, reused by third-party manufacturers or burned to serve as heat for the laminate process - rather than going to a landfill. Wood waste from manufacturing is used as biomass fuel for heating our factories.
