​Imagine having a "nutrition label" on building products that Declares its entire contents. The Declare Label does just that. Declare Labels are about transparency showing exactly what a product's made of, where it came from, where it goes at the end of it useful life and if its' void of Toxic Red Listed Materials.

About Declare Labels The label is simple in scope and easy to read, in a world full of complex information it makes sense to keep things simple. One quick look at the label and you have the entire product contents revealed. And just in case you don't have a chemistry degree, Declare certifies a products contents for you with a status. Look for the Red List Free status, this means no Red Listed toxic materials are used in the product.

So where does Premium Flooring sit on the Declare frontier?
