May 28, 2007—As the laminate flooring industry continues to expand, the need for quality metrics and recognition through credible certification for its products grows more critical, says the North American Laminate Flooring Association (NALFA).
Ten years strong, NALFA has been a pioneer in the industry, setting and enforcing quality and performance standards for all laminate flooring. Today, NALFA is urging manufactures and retailers to adhere to these set industry standards in a joint effort to promote the highest quality products available.
NALFA provides information to manufacturers, consumers and retailers about durable, affordable and environmentally-friendly laminate flooring. The main goal of the organization is to encourage the establishment and maintenance of high standards in laminate flooring in North America and to recognize those that meet them.
This past year the organization took a critical stride towards improving quality control in the industry by encouraging its members to display the NALFA Certification Seal on product packaging. This seal is given to manufacturers who pass intense testing and examination of their product(s), assuring the consumer that the product conforms to NALFA quality standards.
