Johnsonite is committed to its responsibility of preserving the environment for future generations and delivers integrated solutions that balance our customers’ objectives of environmentally compatible products, increased life-safety and productivity, and an effective return on investment.

We believe that true sustainability must be grounded in the equal pursuits of economic feasibility, long-term return on investment, increased productivity, and how the specified building products enhance the comfort and safety of internal environments in which workers spend a significant amount of time each day.

As a leader in specialty flooring for more than 100 years, Johnsonite has been at the forefront and, indeed, has helped shape many of the standards for resilient flooring. We believe in first identifying the total needs of the end user – the ultimate customer – and then working backwards to ensure their capital investment decisions are based on sound cost-to-benefit considerations and performance demands, as well as sensitivity to the environment.

Johnsonite seeks to deliver a balanced and comprehensive approach to real issues, not a rush to claim “green labels.”

Through innovation and problem solving, Johnsonite strives to deliver total and balanced solutions, including products that are environmentally compatible, that offer important safety and indoor air-quality features and that maximize return on investment based on proven performance and ease of maintenance. Specific features include:

• The unmatched durability of Johnsonite’s total system of product offerings translates to a much longer functional life – not only minimizing the raw materials consumed by several generations of alternate flooring materials, but also the energy to manufacture and transport the products, and the disposal of products at the end of life.
• Our products contribute to the internal air quality of workplaces as they don’t hold dust and other allergens, help prevent the growth of bacteria and mold, contains adhesives that meet or exceed all regulatory VOC-limits, and can be cleaned without solvent- or phosphate-based cleaners.
• In terms of health and safety, Johnsonite’s flooring, stair tread and transition products greatly reduce slip/fall and tripping accidents, as well as provide systems for safer evacuation in emergencies. They also serve to reduce leg and foot fatigue and minimize noise for more pleasant and productive surroundings. Many products are maintained with minimal wet cleaning, reducing “wet floors”. This reduces slip and fall potential.
• IQ construction flooring never needs wax or finish for the life of the floor, thus reducing water, cleaning products, and electricity. This minimizes resources used and saves costs. The reduced use of cleaning products also relates to improved indoor air quality.
• Installation and replacement efforts are simpler and have less impact on indoor air quality and material being sent to landfills, while also rendering lower maintenance and downtime costs.
