Corian® Recognised as Best-in-Class for Indoor Air Quality
At Riluxa, we are committed to working with only the most sustainable and environmentally conscious materials, with a particular emphasis on safeguarding the health and wellbeing of building users. Indoor air quality has a serious impact on the health of occupants and choosing materials known to be low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds)-emitters is a key factor in ensuring a healthy living environment.
With that in mind, we’re thrilled to announce that our signature material, Corian®, is the first and only solid surface material to have achieved the prestigious “Eurofins Indoor Air Comfort Gold” certification, the most ambitious low VOC-emitting label.
What is the Indoor Air Comfort Gold Certification?
This certification combines all of the EU legal regulatory requirements, together with the most stringent internationally recognised voluntary VOC emissions specifications into a single certificate. These include:
- LEED (ACP) Worldwide
- BREEAM International
- Greenguard
- EU ecolabel
- Cradle to Cradle
- SKA Rating (UK)
- French A+ Rating
The label therefore guarantees the safety of Corian® solid surface for both the product installer and the end user of the home or commercial premises. Furthermore, it supports bathroom product specifiers in the pursuit of the highest Green Building rating certification by harmonising many complex certification processes under one umbrella label.
Riluxa’s Commitment to Sustainability
This represents another step on our sustainability journey at Riluxa, and we’re proud to have played a central role in making Corian® the premier solid surface material used for the creation of beautiful (and healthy) bathroom basins, shower trays, bathtubs and countertops across Europe and beyond.
In the words of our founder, Frédéric Tomé, “Our philosophy is to produce well-designed, well-made products, that transcend fast fashions and are built to last. By doing this, we show respect to the product, to the customer, to the maker and to nature. A high-quality product in the hands of those who have learned how to look after it will last a very long time”.
This certification is another reason why we believe Corian® is so essential in our mission to create more beautiful and sustainable bathrooms, helping us contribute to a more sustainable future for our planet.
