Tandus Flooring received the 2009 Antron Carpet Fiber Sustainable Flooring Performance
Award for its Powerbond installation in Westminster High School.
The award recognizes floorcoverings using Antron fiber that have continued to
meet the needs of the client in both design and performance. Tandus has won
every year since the award’s inception.
Westminster
High School of the Adams County School District (ACSD) 50 in Westminster, CO
was chosen for the sustainability of the Powerbond floorcovering originally
installed 35 years ago. Powerbond floorcovering, constructed with Antron nylon,
covers approximately 80 percent of the 143,000 square-foot facility and is
still performing after three decades of daily wear-and-tear.
“The
Powerbond at Westminster High School is now 35 years old and has outlasted its
life expectancy,” said Andy Moore, manager of maintenance and custodial at WHS.
“Its performance has proven to be superior with daily abuse and daily
cleaning.”
The ACSD 50
took note of Powerbond’s performance at WHS as the hybrid resilient
floorcovering currently covers 80 percent of the 1.2 million square-feet of
maintainable space within the district-that equates to approximately 960,000
square-feet of Powerbond handling the daily foot traffic of 10,000 students.
“Westminster High School
is a clear winner over time,” said Dennis Fortune of sustainability director
for McGill University and award judge. “To hold up
to that amount of foot traffic, it clearly functioned beyond expectations.”
The ACSD 50
will expand this year with the opening of the New Westminster High School, a
365,000 square-foot facility, and will include Powerbond installations in
classrooms, media centers, hallways and offices.
