Certification and Recognition
What do our environmental actions mean for you?
Third party certifications, recognitions for environmental leadership and contribution to green building credits matter to us, as a manufacturer, because they confirm that our investment in making better products, with better processes, is working. But they matter to you, too.
First, because they offer reassurance from independent testing facilities that our claims are true. We welcome these highly regarded associations and government bodies into our facilities – in the name of truth and transparency. They look closely at our products, programs and practices. And when they certify a Mannington product or reward a program for environmental leadership, it confirms that our environmental commitments line up with what you expect from us.
The second is because it can benefit your projects, both commercial and residential. Thanks to rating systems like the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED rating systems, you can be recognized for your actions, your environmental leadership and the responsible design and construction of your project.
We are proud to have a products and programs that contribute to environmental rating systems, have been recognized for environmental innovation and leadership, and are third-party certified.

Demand the NALFA Certification Seal. Or roll the dice on quality. You decide.
| We say choose the laminate flooring that is rigorously tested, proven by a third-party facility and guaranteed to be of the highest quality. But we don’t expect you to take our word for it. That’s why we have the North American Laminate Flooring Association (NALFA) Certification Seal. |
 |
The Certification Seal proves that our floors passed 10 very demanding performance tests. In addition, our floors comply with all CARB (California Air Resource Board) requirements. We offer the industry’s best quality laminate flooring available. Not because we say so, but because the NALFA Certification Seal proves it. |
