'Quick-Step Hybrid' Flooring Enhances Product Reliability
An Eco-Friendly Flooring Combining Sustainability and Functionality
The Quick-step Hybrid product, exclusively imported and distributed in Korea by Shinmyung Maru (CEO Kwon Hyuk-tae), has received the 'EU Ecolabel' certification issued by the European Union.
The EU Ecolabel is a certification granted to products and services that meet high environmental standards across their entire life cycle—from raw material extraction to production, distribution, in-home use, and end-of-life disposal. Through this certification, the product has demonstrated its 'sustainability' for a greener and better tomorrow.
Sustainability is a concept that takes into account various aspects such as the efficient use of resources, the minimization of environmental pollution, social fairness, and economic stability, with an emphasis on protecting resources and the environment and meeting the needs of future generations.
The EU Ecolabel serves as a standard that consumers and businesses can trust, in line with the recent trend of growing interest in eco-friendliness and a preference for sustainable products and services. Products bearing the EU Ecolabel are those that minimize environmental pollution factors, such as the release of harmful chemicals into the air and water, and they also serve as a countermeasure to global issues related to climate change.
Because it certifies that a product is not only safe for consumers to use but also beneficial to the environment, it can only be obtained by meeting stringent standards. In Korea, Quick-step Hybrid, an eco-friendly flooring from Belgium, is the only flooring product that holds the EU Ecolabel.
In addition to holding the EU Ecolabel, Quick-step Hybrid flooring is a floor covering with numerous features, and in Korea it has been selected as a recommended material recognized by the Korea Institute of Registered Architects. Using the Uniclic System patented by Belgium's Unilin, the maker of Quick-step, the product can be installed easily and quickly, and it offers 100% waterproofing thanks to a pressed bevel technology that reduces vulnerability to water. In addition, Scratch Guard technology gives it excellent resistance to scratches and stains, allowing it to be used with confidence for a long time.
Kwon Hyuk-tae, CEO of Shinmyung Maru, said, "Through the EU Ecolabel certification, we hope that more consumers will take an interest in protecting the global environment through Quick-step, and we plan to continue leading the way in environmental protection through an even wider range of methods."
