Enviromental Solutions That Work Quality manufacturers servicing architects, designers and dealer professionals nationally.     Please take a moment to sign up for updates.  This will alert you to new products and new articles on my blog.  This list is never sold-- and you can opt out at any time! I have been in this field for 20 years.  My goal is to find the best cost-effective solution for your business.  I read a recent article from a company with long experience with reps: to paraphrase, he said, "there are no bad reps, bad reps go quickly out of business."  I have been a rep for over 20 years, more than half of that in the Denver market.  I without reservation believe my products are the best in the industry in performance and service.  I believe all my manufacturers have strong environmental statements and I query them heavily.  Like the Colorado Chapter, US Green Building Chapter that I proudly helped found and sit on the board-- I don't give credit to the expected.  When I first would ask companies about their stand, they'd proudly say, "WE RECYCLE".  I expect more and so do you.    As long as we are consuming every product has an environmental impact. I believe the best thing we can do is for the environment is to use long lasting products.  The 2nd is products with good indoor air quality.  The EPA considers poor indoor air quality the principal health hazard to the US . Since Americans' spend 90% of their time indoors, that number is overwhelming.  Some products as linoleum emit more than 10x the VOC than products listed below.  There are tradeoffs.  Just as there is no one "best" carpet or car -- there is no "best-- one size fits all" flooring product.    Products     Imagine Tile   Imagine Tile Using stock or custom images create an incredibly vivid and graphic, commercially rated, ceramic or porcelain tile.
