EPDs Environmental Product Declarations have now been created for our Silikal.
Henning Simon, Managing Director, says: "We place the topic of sustainability at the forefront of our business development. We have now achieved another goal: with the Environmental Product Declaration EPD, which is now available for our flooring systems, we are transparently documenting all relevant data on the environmental impact throughout the entire product life cycle. Architects, building owners and planners need this information in order to be able to plan and evaluate the sustainability of buildings. We have thus created the framework conditions for our flooring systems to be installed in BNB and DGNB-certified buildings."
The EDPs record the environmental impact of the SilikalMethylmethacrylate) flooring systems throughout their entire life cycle. In addition to the technical properties and service life of the floor coatings, the CO2 footprint, the use of energy and raw materials, the impact on the greenhouse effect, acidification and nutrient input are determined and recorded.
The declaration is internationally valid and is based on ISO 14025 and EN 15804. The tests and analyses were carried out by an independent auditor and KiWa Deutschland GmbH. The declaration for all Silikal standard floor coating systems (Silikal Kitchen System, Silikal System B: Quartz TA, Silikal System B: Quartz SL, Silikal System C: Uni Color, Silikal System C: Flakes, Silikal System D: Cold Room and Silikal Concrete Look) is now available.
