We provide the widest range of systems with very low VOC (volatile organic compounds) content and formulations using natural vegetable oils that contribute to Low-Emitting Materials credits. Our investment in establishing Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), is being driven to achieve formulations which will contribute to credits. In the United States already in total, commercial flooring systems from Sherwin-Williams can contribute up to five points in LEED credit.

Our mission at Sherwin-Williams is to create products that protect and preserve our customers’ most valued assets. Our commercial flooring solutions are engineered to reduce maintenance and environmental impact. They deliver the high performance level architects and specifiers demand, and are competitively priced to keep material costs controlled.
