ECOCLICK+ vs Clickable Resilient Flooring
This flooring is created as a strong and affordable flooring option to clickable resilient flooring with close properties such as 5mm thickness, waterproof and non-glue installation. The one difference is that its wear layer is slightly less than that of a quality clickable resilient flooring; in other words, it is relatively less scratch resistant but durable enough to last long.
Green Label and other types of Green certification
As there are a number of green certification labels for products today. It is important for the consumers to understand the difference or similarities between the common ones.
Singapore Green Label is considered one of the most stringent certifications compared to most in the market. It looks into various aspects of the products. For example, the material used to made the products has to be certified whether they are safe for the environment and health. Companies that are able to produce and declare a detailed test report on the materials use in the manufacturing process will then be qualified to pass this round. That means if the companies are not able to produce a detailed report of the material, will fail to obtain the accreditation no matter how long they tried to apply for it. And then, the green label also touches on the manufacturing process impact on environment and the use of product and its impact on environment. Another important factor that Singapore Green Label touches on will be the indoor air quality. Test report(s) will be needed to show that the product will not produce dangerous amount of fumes when burned or in status quo. Moreover, whether or not, the product has zero or a safe level of formaldehyde emission rating. These will be able to ensure better indoor air quality for the product users and families.
It is important for consumers to learn about other products that may also have some form of green certification. Some of it may not be about the product material, in which this one is a very crucial aspect. Some green certification talks more about the manufacturing process and its impact on health and environment only. For example, the way the product is manufactured helps to save water, electricity and less pollution to the environment, will also likely to obtain a certain green certification except for the most stringent type of certifications. Or another example is that the product is able to be recycled after use, can also obtain a certain less stringent green certification.

Eco resilient flooring is considerably affordable. Price also includes installation – a service that is typically charged separately, depending on the scope of the job.

The name itself says it all: flooring made from natural materials, hence it is free of chemicals and safe for pets (and very young children). There is only a few clickable resilient flooring in Asia which are certified eco friendly. Therefore, home owners should look for resilient flooring with the Singapore Green Label certification. It is often misunderstood that flooring that are certified eco friendly is made up of recycled material, it is not the case as the importance of being certified eco friendly is in its material which has to be safe and friendly to the environment.

Quality eco resilient flooring is designed to be slip-resistant, there is no chance your pets will skid across the hallway like a professional race car driver attempting a dangerous manoeuvre.
#5. You can “scratch-proof” your flooring
If you have big dogs and or cats, you need to invest in flooring that is scratch-resistant so it can stand up to heavy foot traffic and paws with sharp claws. Like laminate flooring, eco resilient flooring is both scratch-resistant and able to stand up to heavy foot traffic. And if you are concerned about claws on the ground, you can add a layer of wax or oil finish to discourage your pets from using their claws when walking.
#6. It has anti-microbial properties
Eco resilient flooring is treated with colloidal silver, a type of compound that kills germs and other harmful bacteria that can otherwise do damage to our bodies.

#7. It does not hurt the environment
Anything that is labelled ‘environmentally friendly’ or begins with the word ‘eco’ does little harm to the environment.

Best of all, the floor boards can be recycled after years of use, thus helping the earth in its quest to reduce and gradually cut waste pollution and preserve nature and mankind.
