Features and Benefits

Moisture Management

EcoLogix® is a breathable backing that allows moisture to rise and evaporate through the seams of the tile, alleviating most slab-based moisture concerns.

Cradle to Cradle Certified™

Designed and assessed for environmental and social performance across five critical sustainability categories: material health, material reuse, renewable energy and carbon management, water stewardship, and social fairness.

Reducing Plastic Waste Streams

EcoLogix® backing is NSF 140 Platinum certified and uses 100% post-consumer recycled PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) plastic bottles to help consume waste plastics into a beautiful solution.

Comfort Underfoot

Constructed for underfoot comfort, the cushion backing provides support with unmatched durability and ergonomic benefits.

Improved Acoustics

Sound can negatively impact building occupants—that is why EcoLogix® tile was designed to decrease floor to floor impact sound (IIC ratings) and absorb in-room sound (SAA ratings) more than standard carpet tile and hard surfaces.

Indoor Air Quality

People spend 90% of their time indoors, making these environments critical to our wellbeing. EcoLogix® is Green Label Plus (GLP) Certified, meeting the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) indoor air quality standards for low emitting products.
