A NEW APPROACH TO COMMERCIAL FLOORING
Bio-Based
Resilient
Traditional resilient flooring has relied on the
same materials for decades. As commercial
interiors continue to evolve, so do the
opportunities to explore innovative materials,
thoughtful manufacturing, and high performance
solutions that support a wide range of project
goals. Bio-Based Resilient represents one of
those opportunities, offering a fresh perspective
on what's possible in resilient flooring.
Featuring the Positive Impact Collection,
our Bio-Based Resilient portfolio combines
renewable raw materials, advanced polyurethane
technology, and commercial-grade performance
into a thoughtfully engineered flooring solution.
Designed to support today's commercial
environments, it demonstrates how innovation
and performance can work together to expand
the possibilities of resilient flooring.

what is bio-based
resilient flooring?
Bio-Based Resilient is a commercial-grade
heterogeneous polyurethane flooring solution
designed to deliver exceptional durability,
dimensional stability, and long-term commercial
performance. Manufactured using innovative
polyurethane technology, it represents a fresh
approach to resilient flooring while expanding the
possibilities of resilient design.
The Positive Impact Collection features
two complementary products:
Reaction (19.69" × 39.37")
Response (7.87" × 47.24")
offering a versatile mix of contemporary wood
and stone visuals across tile and plank formats.
Designed to support a variety of commercial
environments, the collection demonstrates how
Bio-Based Resilient brings together design
flexibility, commercial performance, and
thoughtful material innovation.

Bio-Based Resilient is manufactured using a
combination of renewable raw materials, naturally
occurring mineral components, and advanced
polyurethane technology. Each material is
carefully selected for the role it plays within the
finished flooring construction, contributing to the
durability, dimensional stability, and long-term
commercial performance expected in today's
commercial environments.
Rather than relying on a single material,
Bio-Based Resilient brings together multiple
components that work in harmony to create
a balanced flooring solution. This thoughtful
material composition demonstrates how
innovation and performance can work together
to expand the possibilities of resilient flooring.

ENGINEERED LAYER BY LAYER TO DELIVER
LASTING PERFORMANCE INSIDE AND OUT.
Exceptional flooring performance begins beneath
the surface. Every layer within Bio-Based Resilient
is thoughtfully engineered to work together,
creating a balanced flooring construction
designed to support long-term durability,
dimensional stability, and reliable performance
in demanding commercial environments.

1. Integrated Polyurethane Surface
This durable polyurethane layer contains 220 microns,
compared to the 15-micron polyurethane layer typically found
in LVT, providing exceptional resistance to scratches, stains,
and everyday wear while helping maintain the floor’s
appearance over time.
2. Decor Layer
High-definition décor is permanently integrated into
the construction, delivering realistic visuals while enhancing
the floor's long-term durability.
3. Glass Fiber Reinforcement
A reinforced glass fiber layer improves dimensional stability,
helping minimize expansion and contraction caused by
temperature and environmental changes.
4. Bio-Based Polyurethane Matrix
Made with renewable raw materials, this continuous
polyurethane matrix permanently bonds every layer together
to create a durable thermoset structure engineered for
long-term commercial performance.
5. Fleece Backing
The fleece backing promotes a strong adhesive bond,
supporting reliable installation and long-term performance
in commercial applications.

Thoughtful material selection starts with
transparency. From renewable raw materials to
third-party verified documentation, Bio-Based
Resilient provides architects and designers with
the information they need to make confident,
informed material decisions throughout the
specification process.
BIO-BASED DESIGN
Bio-Based Resilient incorporates renewable raw materials
as part of a thoughtfully engineered flooring solution. This
balanced material approach supports long-term performance
while reducing reliance on traditional fossil-based ingredients.
MATERIAL TRANSPARENCY
Understanding what a product contains and what it doesn't is
an important part of today's specification process. Bio-Based
Resilient is manufactured without PVC, chlorine, plasticizers,
phthalates, formaldehyde, or solvents, providing greater
transparency into material composition.
THIRD-PARTY VERIFICATION
Independent certifications and published product
documentation provide transparency into material content,
indoor air quality, and environmental performance, helping
support informed specification decisions with confidence.

INSIDE THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Bio-Based Resilient is produced using a continuous
manufacturing process that combines precision engineering
with advanced thermoset curing technology. During curing,
heat initiates a chemical reaction that permanently bonds
the flooring construction into one unified structure.

advantage
The way a flooring product is manufactured
plays a critical role in how it performs over time.
Unlike traditional thermoplastic resilient flooring,
Bio-Based Resilient is manufactured using a
thermoset process that permanently bonds its
layers into a unified structure. The result is a
flooring solution engineered to deliver
exceptional dimensional stability, durability,
and long-term performance in demanding
commercial environments.
