Plynyl was the name given to our flooring products when we first introduced them in 2001. And W2W is our abbreviated way of saying “wall to wall,” which is made in rolls by bonding our textiles to a soft, resilient polyurethane cushion. The cushion contains post-consumer recycled content.
Made in USA.
Microban: Many Chilewich Contract products contain Microban antimicrobial protection, which works continuously for the lifetime of the product to inhibit the growth of stain- and odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew. Microban protection is ideal for any healthcare, hospitality, home or office environment where mold and mildew are a concern.
Green Label Plus™: Chilewich Plynyl W2W and tile flooring are Green Label Plus™ certified by the Carpet and Rug Institute. These guidelines are written to protect indoor air quality by mandating low VOC products. Green Label Plus™ certification is recognized by the U.S. Green Building Council and therefore Chilewich W2W and tile flooring earn LEED points.
TerraStrand: A significant environmental development for Chilewich was the substitution of petroleum-based plasticizers in Chilewich yarns for phthalate-free, renewable vegetable compounds. Plasticizers have traditionally been made from petroleum-based compounds and are used to make PVC yarns soft. No more. We call this innovative yarn and the fabrics made from them, TerraStrand. TerraStrand contains 25% renewable vegetable content.
