DESSO AirMaster® - Proven Air Cleaning Efficiency

Indoor air quality is important because on average we spend 90% of our time indoors.

DESSO AirMaster is the first product in the world to receive the GUI Gold Plus Award, the largest possible accreditation awarded by Gesellschaft to Umvelt-und Innenraumanalitik (GUI), Germany's leading independent air quality testing organization. GUI lab scientists have measured DESSO AirMaster's ability to reduce fine dust concentrations by conducting 15 tests in three testing rooms, each equipped with different floor solutions (smooth floor, standard carpet and DESSO AirMaster).

The result?

DESSO AirMaster is 8x more efficient at retaining fine dust than smooth floors and 4x more efficient than standard textile floors.

Linoleum is a natural flooring solution

Plants and minerals provide the raw materials that make linoleum. The result is a beautiful, natural, recyclable and resilient flooring.

Linoleum contributes to the creation of healthy indoor spaces. Its TVOC emissions are 100x smaller than the strictest requirements of the industry, contributing to the improvement of indoor air quality.

Linoleum also contributes to the creation of sustainable spaces thanks to its composition, production and recycling. Made from 94% of natural resources, it is made up of 78% of abundant renewable resources. Also, thanks to internal production through photovoltaic panels, biomass boilers, geothermal systems and 100% renewable electricity consumption, the linoleum production process enables renewable energy production.
