How green is your home
With the emphasis firmly on protecting our environment, it makes sense to look at the products that you use in your home.
This month we take a look
at how Belgotex Floorcoverings have taken the decision to become a
committed, environmentally friendly organisation by taking the first steps on
what has become affectionately known as their ‘Green Journey’
Did you know that you can help the planet
by favouring products and services from
companies that are green compliant?
Belgotex Floorcoverings has been a driving
force in the South African floorcovering
industry for the past 22 years. As a leader
in floorcoverings,
Belgotex recognise that
their manufacturing
processes impact
on the environment.
This is why they
are committed
to managing
any negative
environmental impacts
created by their
activities, products and
services.
With a goal of
establishing an ISO
14001 compliant
Environmental
Management
System the focus
is on continual environmental improvements aimed at
minimising pollution and developing an
ecologically sustainable waste management
system, and Belgotex Floorcoverings are fully
compliant with all applicable legislation as
well as other requirements of environmentally
responsible manufacture.
When you choose a floor covering from the
Belgotex fabulous range of carpets, cushioned
vinyls and BerryFloor wood laminates, you can be sure that it has been
produced by a responsible manufacturer committed to eco-friendly
production practice.
Some people still think carpeting is expensive.
That’s simply not true any more. Modern
fibres make a carpet from Belgotex Carpets
your most affordable and stylish choice of
floorcovering.
Warmth underfoot
Belgotex Carpets floorcovering provides superb
thermal insulation. Carpeting not only feels
warmer underfoot, but in fact retains 10% more
ambient heat.
Comfort above
Belgotex Carpets floorcoverings also soaks
up noise, thereby providing a more relaxed
ambience in your home. With virtually no
impact clatter or echo, you can also enjoy
more balanced sound from your TV, DVD player
and hi-fi. And orthopaedic specialists confirm
that Belgotex Carpets alleviate strain on backs
and joints. Walking barefoot on carpeting also
acts as reflex massage treatment.
And easy cleaning too
Stainproof Miracle Fibre is a highly advanced polypropylene fibre unique to Belgotex. Colourfast, stain resistant, antimicrobial and anti-allergenic, carpets are also resistant to mould and mildew. Most stubborn stains can be removed simply by using an equal mix of clear household bleach and water.
