Florida Tile Gets Greenguard Certification

Lakeland, FL, November 28, 2007 - Florida Tile said it is the first tile manufacturer to have its products certified for low chemical emissions by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute.

The certification has been awarded to Florida Tile's floor tile, wall tile, and stone products.

In addition, Florida Tile's products have met the more stringent standards required for the GREENGUARD Children and Schools certification, which complies with the State of California's requirements for low-emitting materials used in schools and healthcare facilities.

The GREENGUARD Certification program is an industry independent program for evaluating low-emitting products and materials.

"The USEPA ranks indoor air pollution as one of the top five risks to human health," says GEI CEO Carl Smith.
