Specifications

It should be noted that Mannington Laminate flooring has been tested per ASTM E-648 Test Method for
Critical Radiant Flux of Floor Covering Systems Using a Radiant Heat Energy Source and passes with a
Class 1 rating (CRF Value GT or equal to 0.45 watts per sqcm) as well as per ASTM E- 662 Test Method
for Specific Optical Smoke Density of Smoke Generated by Solid Materials (passes with value LT 450).
ASTM E 648 and E-662 are the more common fire test requirements for flooring materials and what
building codes normally reference.
Laminate flooring has the following attributes:
• Low VOC emission levels
o The resins used to bind the HDF do contain small amounts of formaldehyde
o It is generally known, trace levels of formaldehyde can exist in natural wood and timber, thus may be
inherent in laminate flooring products.

(CARB) emission levels.
o All Mannington Laminate is FloorScore certified for indoor air quality
• Utilizes a large percentage of renewable resource materials, primarily in core

• Durable long lasting flooring
• Majority of laminate floors are installed glue-less
• Utilizes large amounts of wood and paper residue streams, providing upgraded use for normal
waste streams
