It’s hard not to be aware of the benefits of building green these days when everywhere, you turn and everything you read, is about something “green”. Advances in adhesive technologies have allowed the development of formulas that reduce or eliminate VOCs without reducing the durability and performance of the products. Architects, designers, developers, installers, and builders now realize the importance of sourcing, low-VOC, green products, but more importantly, they are concerned with finding a green “installation system”. An important requirement of these systems is that they, not only meet the standards set forth by the green building authorities such as the US Green Building Council through its L.E.E.D Guidelines, but that the system is warranted for a long term by a reputable, financially-stable, manufacturer. At Bostik, we not only ensure a greener future with our low VOC portfolio of products but we back them with Installation System Warranties to protect our customer for the long term.
This is the reason why more building professionals across the world are choosing Bostik Systems for their current and future projects. Bostik offers Installation Systems and Warranties for Wood Flooring, Ceramic, Carpet, and Resilient Flooring. Visit www.bostik-us.com to see what products are available for your next project.
