sustainability qualities, but Unibond RE accomplishes this feat quite
nicely. And Unibond RE comes with a lifetime, non-prorated warranty
-- an impressive display of the confidence Lees has in the product's
performance capabilities. |

Lees Integrated Cushion Thermobond carpet tiles utilize
celceram or "coal fly ash", a valuable resource produced
at America's electric power plants that is used to cost
effectively improve the quality of many building materials
and floor coverings. Celceram offers high performance
properties with significantly increased levels of recycled
content. The beneficial use of Celceram not only supports
the EPA's and other federal agencies initiatives, it also
contributes to the U.S. Green Building Council LEED rating
system. Download whitepaper for more info. |
