Introducing “BBT Tile” aka BioBased Tile from Armstrong

Introducing BioBased Tile, a tile with enhanced environmental and performance attributes. BioBased Tile (BBT) contains BioStride polymer, which is made from rapidly renewable, U.S.-grown plant materials. The result is a tile that offers you greener flooring with performance features that are superior to ordinary VCT. And Armstrong is the company bringing it to you, a company that has “145 years of experience in flooring, and a proven track record of performance, quality and sound environmental practices, green operations and products aren’t new for us, but they continue to be the focus of our development efforts.” (Armstrong)

“Armstrong makes it easy to go green. A specifier no longer has to choose between a greener product and the project’s budget, which opens up enormous opportunities in virtually every market, including education, healthcare, retail, etc.,” said Paul Sharihari, principal, GreenMind.

With the benefits of this tile, there doesn’t seem to be a reason not to use it. BBT is (according to Armstrong):

  • Enhanced Range of Green Benefits.
  • An Affordable Greener Option.
  • Enhanced Performance over Composition Tile with Classic Looks.
  • No Additional Maintenance or Installation Requirements.
