Designed for youFAQs
Carbon Core™ is unlike any other LVP product on the market in terms of ‘air purification’ but to understand what that means in relation to the market you need to get the basic concepts behind the key materials used in the production process, where they come from and how they’re made. It’s the construction of the material itself that sets it apart from the rest and lends itself to further reducing the carbon footprint generated.
What is Activated Carbon?
Through a specific high-temperature firing process, Carbon Core™ forms a large number of high-density pores, which greatly improves the adsorption capacity of Carbon Core™.
Why do you use Bamboo in your products?
Compared to an equivalent tree mass, bamboo produces 35% more oxygen and research has shown that bamboo can absorb as much as 12 tonnes of carbon dioxide per hectare per year. That’s some real carbon sequestration!
Depending on variety, bamboo can grow at a rate of 3 feet per day and can reach full maturity in only 1 to 5 years which is considerably faster than the fastest growing trees.
What's the difference between charcoal and bamboo charcoal?
The specific surface area of Carbon Core™ is 10 times that of ordinary charcoal and 4 times that of ordinary activated carbon.
What is Carbon Core™?
Carbon Core ™ is patented technology using a proprietary blend of activated bamboo charcoal that cleans the air around it reducing the level of harmful chemicals in any environment.
Why use Carbon Core™?
Simple- to promote a better living and work environment. It is our goal to provide you products engineered to reduce the harmful emissions produced by day to day items and offer a cleaner alternative to every other click-based LVP product currrently on the market.
What does Carbon Core™ do?
While absorbing formaldehyde, Carbon Core™ can degrade formaldehyde and release negative oxygen ions.
What does Carbon Core™ NOT do?
- Clean smoke straight out of the air
- Absorbs dust out of the air
- Replace the need air purifiers
- Is not tested to reduce carbon monoxide
What is Formaldehyde?
Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable, strong-smelling chemical that is used in building materials and to produce many household products. Although it is a naturally occuring gas found in many organic matter, prolonged exposure can cause adverse health effects including cancer.
How does it work if Carbon Core™ is waterproof?
Like all floors in our category, CarbonCore™ is waterproof yet not 100% airtight, which means air molecules will permeate over time allowing our floors to work for you.
