FloorScore
While ECORE accepts responsibility for its products and processes, it also offers third party certification information as a testament to the company's quality, environmental standards, and product safety.
QT Sound Insulation is FloorScore certified. The FloorScore program was developed by the Resilient Floor Covering Institute (RFCI) in conjunction with Scientific Certification Systems (SCS), which tests and certifies flooring as well as flooring insulation products, and confirms production facilities compliance with rigorous indoor air quality emission requirements. Individual volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are evaluated using health-based specifications.
Flooring products that earn FloorScore certification qualify for use in high performance schools and office buildings. QT rubber underlayments can also assist specifiers by potentially contributing toward earning 8 LEED points, making them a preferred choice for nearly any sound insulation application.
