APEX Wallcoverings Promote Healthier Indoor Air Quality

Wallcoverings used for interior projects directly impact indoor air quality (IAQ).  Those that emit lower levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during their installation and over the course of their useful life are the optimal choice for supporting healthier IAQ. The best choice are those that offer high performance, while also being environmentally sensitive.

Indoor air quality is an environmental issue we take very seriously.

Incorporating Clean Vinyl Technology (CVT) and containing NO phthalates, heavy metals or formaldehyde, he chemicals and associated health risks typically found in vinyl wallcoverings have been eliminated.

As a result, APEX wallcoverings meet many rigorous standards, including:

• SCS Indoor Advantage Gold certification

Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) is the recognized global leader in providing environmental standards and certification for indoor air quality measurements. Their SCS Indoor Advantage™ Gold certification is accepted by BREEAM, and meets the criteria of the most stringent threshold for indoor emissions, California Section 01350, which uses human health-based standards for indoor air quality.

• California 01350 standard for low VOCs and healthy indoor air quality
• Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) initiative
