Colorway
Code 5614

Manufacturer Info: made in layers and combined together to create the tile. Top layer is a wearlayer with high performance made of urethane aluminum oxide.

Brief Description: Have more of a variety of texture patterns instead of distinct shaped patterns. Aqualoc used to prevent discoloration or mold in the tiles from the subfloor. Has a surface of Quantam Guard HP, a wearlayer made with urethane aluminum oxide. These are used in commercial buildings. Has a rough textural feel on some because it helps prevent slippage on tiles. Though it has LEED and green attributes, I can't imagine the chemicals used to produce this floor can be ok for the environment.

Green attributes:
certified under Floorscore
recognized as LEED EQ Credit 4.3
contributes to LEED credits
made in the USA
contains 6% recycled content (50% pre-consumer and 5% post-consumer)
