Recognized for providing an environmental solution, Azrock’s Emerge eco-resilient tile received a Citation of Excellence in the Environmental Solutions category of Buildings magazine’s 13th annual Product Innovation Awards Program. Composed of limestone and a polymeric blend composite, Emerge is a new eco-resilient commercial floor tile that contains earth-friendly ingredients and requires minimal maintenance.

“Previewed at NeoCon 2008, Emerge eco-resilient tile is setting new standards,” said Diane Martel, vice president marketing for Tarkett Commercial Tile. “With an innovative product construction, 1,000 PSI rating and minimal maintenance needed, Emerge should ‘wow’ the A&D community.”

The Product Innovation Awards Program is held each year at NeoCon World’s Trade Fair. Its 13th annual awards were given to qualifying manufacturers who created superior products providing solutions in one of the following categories: workplace productivity, computer technology, energy efficiency, environmental solutions, workplace aesthetics, safety and accessibility, product performance and workplace flexibility.

Grand prize winners and citation of excellence recipients will be featured in the October 2008 issue of Buildings magazine and on the Buildings magazine Web site www.buildings.com.
