Inquiry

One of our products is a Natural Wool Hand tufted carpet which represents less than 5% of the total carpet area of the entire project. The other flooring is 95% Green Label Plus. The Carpet & Rug Institute doesn\'t test hand tufted carpet, only machine tufted or woven carpets. We have found an independent laboratory that will test our hand tufted carpet following the exact same condition described by the Carpet & Rug Institute. It won\'t achieve Green Label Plus but will be able to demonstrate that the carpet respects all VOC emission defined by the Carpet & Rug Institute & the Green Label Plus. The Carpet & Rug Institute testing regime requires initial, quarterly, and annual testing, however, we only plan to do the initial testing. Will this be sufficient to gain LEED approval?
