Recycled Flooring Wins ADEX Design Award

Taunton, MA, Apr. 16--SelecTech Flooring has received the 2003 Gold ADEX Award (Award for Design Excellence) for its new FreeStyle recycled interlocking floor tile. The flexible, resilient product consists of a recycled-materials base, stone or wood-grain visuals and a wear layer, all of which are fused together for durability. Utilizing a proprietary interlocking edge design, non-adhesive FreeStyle is placed directly over existing flooring and problem sub-floors and can be walked-on immediately. “We're honored to be recognized by such a prestigious award,” says Tom Ricciardelli, president of SelecTech Flooring. “Virtually every major U.S.-based flooring manufacturer competed for this award and we were singled out for the unique design and functions that FreeStyle offers. We were also the only flooring product submitted to be made with recycled materials, such as carpet backing.” Given annually for the best architectural product designs of the year as judged by a panel of design professionals, the 2003 ADEX awards attracted over 400 companies submitting more than 1,500 innovative products. Since 1996, SelecTech has used patented and proprietary technologies to produce a variety of commercial products from recycled materials.
