Healthy Living Starts From the Ground Up
From certified emissions testing to closed-loop packaging recycling, every Decotec floor is built on a foundation of transparency, safety, and environmental responsibility.
- SHI Product Pass
SHI Product passport: certified healthy living for your Projects.
In modern interior design today, more counts than just the look. Clients, tenants and planners rightly attach importance to materials that promote a healthy indoor climate. At Decotec, we make this quality transparent.
With the SHI product passport, we offer you a reliable guide. This certificate from the Sustainable Housing Initiative certifies that our floor coverings meet the highest standards in terms of healthy living and environmental compatibility.
What does the SHI product passport mean to you?
Tested emission values
Our vinyl floors are rigorously tested for volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The result: clean air and a healthy environment for living and working spaces.
Freedom from harmful substances
The passport confirms that our products are free of questionable plasticizers or heavy metals. Security you can rely on.
Tender advantage
For architects and property developers, the product passport is a strong document when planning projects that are to be certified according to high sustainability standards (such as DGNB or QNG).
Transparency Creates Trust.
A floor is a long-term decision. We want you to make this decision with a good feeling. The SHI product passport is our promise to you that Decotec products are not only resilient in everyday life, but also safe for people and the environment.

- QNG Seal
Ready for promotion: vinyl flooring with QNG compliance.
Sustainable construction is no longer an option today, but standard – and often the prerequisite for economic financing. The Sustainable Building Quality Seal (QNG) places extremely high demands on the absence of pollutants and the life cycle assessment of the materials used.
With Decotec’s certified flooring solutions, you are on the safe side. We not only supply you with the floor, but also the necessary data basis for your building certification.
Why QNG-compliant floors from Decotec?
Ensuring eligibility for funding
Our products meet the strict criteria regarding the avoidance of pollutants in building materials. In this way, they make a significant contribution to your QNG certification and access to attractive KfW subsidies.
Tested sustainability
From raw material extraction to disposal – we pay attention to materials that can pass the life cycle assessment (EPD).
Healthy indoor climate
QNG means above all healthy living. Our floors are low in emissions and contribute to indoor air quality that is far above legal standards.
We provide the facts for your auditor
Certification involves a lot of paperwork. We make it easy for you: we have all the necessary verifications, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and technical data sheets ready for our QNG-relevant products. This allows your auditor to complete the assessment quickly and smoothly.
Are you planning a certified construction project? Contact us directly. We will advise you specifically on which of our vinyl floors meet the requirements for your specific project and the desired QNG profile.
- Indoor climate
Healthy living without compromise: because indoor climate is no coincidence.
We spend most of our lives indoors. That’s why the ground under our feet should be more than just a visual base – it must provide a secure foundation for healthy living and working. At Decotec, we select our range according to the strictest criteria. Our vinyl flooring is part of a new generation of floor coverings that prove: maximum resilience and the highest air quality go together perfectly.
Our seals — your safety net for clean air
Eurofins Indoor Air Comfort GOLD
This seal is the “gold standard” for Europe. It combines the strictest legal requirements with the relevant voluntary quality marks. When you see “gold”, you can be sure: this floor is one of the lowest-emission on the market.
Emissions to indoor air: Klasse A+
The French label gives you direct information about VOC (volatile organic compounds) emissions. Our classification in the top class A+ guarantees you an extremely low pollutant load — for an indoor climate in which you feel comfortable.
FloorScore® Certification
A globally recognized standard for floor coverings. FloorScore® ensures that our floors meet strict indoor air quality requirements and do not release harmful concentrations of chemicals.
QNG-Ready for Sustainable Projects
Many of our floors comply with the Sustainable Building Quality Seal (QNG). This not only means advantages in terms of funding, but is the ultimate promise for materials tested for harmful substances and healthy architecture.
Why is this so important to us?
Whether in daycare, in a modern office or in your own home: we believe that no one should have to think about the vapours of their soil. That is why we supply systems that are free of harmful plasticizers and not only comply with the limit values of the certifiers, but often fall far below them. Are you planning a project with special requirements? We will be happy to advise you on which Decotec floor meets the specific certificates you need for your tender or construction project. Just contact us!
- Packaging recycling
Responsibility that doesn't stop with unpacking.
For us at Decotec, sustainability means more than just a healthy floor. It is also about what is left over after the installation. We are aware of our responsibility for the packaging materials we put into circulation and rely on a circular system that works.
Partners of Interzero: Together for Real Recycling
We are proud to be part of Interzero’s dual system. Through our certification, we ensure that all transport and product packaging – from cartons to pallets – is professionally collected, sorted and recycled to a high standard.
For you and the environment, this means
Closed loops
Valuable raw materials such as paper, cardboard and plastics flow back into production instead of polluting the environment.
Legal certainty
We meet all requirements of the Packaging Act (VerpackG) seamlessly and transparently.
Resource conservation
Through Interzero's certified recycling, we make a measurable contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gases and the protection of natural resources.
A clean finish for every project.
When you choose Decotec, you choose a partner who has already thought about the topic of disposal. At the end of your project, you will not only have a first-class floor, but also a clear conscience in terms of environmental balance.
