4 FLOORS FOR A BETTER WORLD. Cork is recognized worldwide as a floor with unsurpassed environmental advantages. TORLYS has long been an innovator in cork flooring, continuously rethinking every aspect from renewable resource forestry to re-useable design. TORLYS AND THE ENVIRONMENT We reduce the amount of resources needed to make our products. We re-use cork, leather and wood in our floors and offer floors that are FSC Certified from managed forests. We even encourage customers to re-use or re-purpose their TORLYS floors. At TORLYS, we re inspired by nature in our journey to create a smaller footprint. We urge you to rethink the way you look at flooring too. ~ Peter Barretto, CEO and President ENVIRONMENTAL CHOICE 2

5 FIRST AND ONLY TORLYS is the first to offer an entire cork collection that is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council ) certified. We achieved this certification by passing the rigorous standards established by the Forest Stewardship Council. RENEWABLE Cork floors are made without cutting down cork oak trees. Cork bark is carefully harvested, once every nine years, in a centuries-old tradition with hand tools, a process ensuring that forests will remain undamaged. It is not unusual to have a 200 year-old tree still producing cork bark. HEALTHY HOME All TORLYS smart floors and underlays are CARB compliant and meet the VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) requirements set by the European Norm EN (Class E1), and California Section Indoor Air Quality Standard, one of the most stringent in the world. Cork is hypo-allergenic and insect resistant. Mites and even termites are repelled due to a naturally occurring substance in cork called Suberin. LEED TORLYS smart floors contribute to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) in three areas materials and resources, indoor environmental quality and innovation and design. DURABLE All our cork floors are made with a precisely engineered high-density wood TORLYS smart core, which is more dent resistant than other floors. All TORLYS smart floors include the patented Uniclic joint technology, for the toughest joint and the most exacting fit. For repairs, removing a plank is easy even if it s in the middle of the floor using the patented TORLYS Bulldog Easy Plank Replacer. CORKPLUS UNDERLAY TORLYS Cork floors are backed with CorkPlus attached underlay, made of recycled cork, for added warmth, comfort and sound insulation. Only TORLYS takes this extra step in creating a thoroughly environmental cork floor. REPURPOSE Every TORLYS smart floor can be disassembled and re-purposed in another room or home. You can even donate it to a Habitat for Humanity ReStore. 3
