Home Commercial J+J Flooring's Kinetex named Top 10 green product

BuildingGreenPhiladelphia, Penn.— BuildingGreen has named J+J Flooring Group’s Kinetex as one of its Top 10 products for 2014.
 The winners of the BuildingGreen Top 10 awards will be presented at the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) Greenbuild convention here on Thursday, Nov. 21.

Kinetex is a patented textile composite flooring developed over two years’ time by J+J Flooring Group. The product was engineered in response to the long-standing need in the marketplace for a soft-surface flooring product that performs more like a hard surface floorcovering. The need is particularly pronounced in educational and healthcare facilities, and Kinetex responds with heightened standards for cleanability, durability, moisture management, acoustics, indoor air quality, resistance to slips and falls, and sustainability.

Kinetex fills the gap between soft and hard surface flooring by providing the warmer textile aesthetic of carpet and the performance attributes of rubber, VCT and LVT. With more than 50% recycled content and a lower mass than traditional flooring, Kinetex has 50% lower environmental impact than soft and hard surface flooring. It also offers a low cost of ownership, with lifecycle costs running 22% less than rubber flooring, 40% less than LVT and almost 25% less than VCT.

Kinetex meets the CRI Green Label Plus standards for VOC emissions, and is NSF/ANSI 140 Platinum certified. 
J+J Flooring said that Kinetex is manufactured using no less than 50% post-consumer recycled content and can be recycled into more Kinetex.
