All carpet tile ranges tested by BRE Certification Ltd have been certified with a BRE rating. As part of the National Floor Coverings Group Paragon has "A" Rated products in the Green Guide to Specification, representing good environmental performance - the best rating a product can receive.
By achieving the ‘A’ rating on all tested, carpet tile ranges, Paragon as part of the National Floor Coverings Group, has demonstrated that it makes a reduced impact on the environment through the manufacture of its products, compared with the industry average. This means that when a customer chooses to use ‘A’ rated products, they are reducing the environmental impact of the building when it is assessed under BREEAM (BRE Environmental Assessment Method).
BRE Environmental Assessment Method
To qualify for BREEAM, a building is assessed against specific environmental weightings and credits are awarded in each area, according to performance.
BREEAM is regarded by the UK’s construction and property sectors as the measure for best practice in environmental design and management, and its success can be attributed to its unique ability to cover a wide range of environmental issues within one assessment.
