Setting the bar

Green Certifications

It’s not enough to just be concerned solely upon performance, we must be environmentally conscience. Aquaflex is manufactured in Orange County, CA under the auspices of the strictest environmental laws in the US. We pride ourselves on having performance that borderlines MAGICAL… yet also creating the Aquaflex system with the GREEN’est chemistry in flooring.

We didn’t raise the bar… we obliterated it.
