High School Wins Sustainable Flooring Award

Kennesaw, GA, Feb. 18, 2010--Fiber maker Invista said that Westminster High School in Colorado has won the Grand Prize for the Antron Carpet Fiber Sustainable Flooring Performance Award.

The award recognizes the use of carpets of Antron fiber as a performance-driven soft flooring choice in commercial applications.

Westminster High School was chosen for how well the school’s original carpet, from Tandus, continues to perform after 35 years, and continues to fulfill its design objectives despite the wear-and-tear faced in a high school.

The 143,000 square foot facility still features the original Tandus C&A Floorcovering PowerBond carpet that was installed when the school opened.
 
According to judge Dennis Fortune, sustainability director for McGill University, “Westminster High School is a clear winner over time. To hold up to that amount of foot traffic, the carpet clearly functioned beyond expectations.”
