What We Did?
Twelve Oaks® never compromises on quality or safety. Our manufacturers are only chosen after a long and arduous process where the production is carefully scrutinized from top to bottom with particular emphasis on consistent quality and environmental health safety.
What We’ve Proved?
All of our manufacturers have passed the most stringent industry quality and emission standards, namely CARB-II and/or FloorScore.
FloorScore is a voluntary, independent certification program that tests and certifies hard surface flooring and the materials they’re made with to ensure they are in compliance with stringent indoor air quality emissions.
In 2010, California Air Resource Board (CARB) rolled out the most stringent regulation regarding formaldehyde emission for hardwood and related product. This regulation is known as CARB Phase II, which dictated that formaldehyde emission be lower than 0.05ppm —- a very safe level.
On December 12, 2016, EPA published in the Federal Register a final rule to reduce exposure to formaldehyde emissions from certain wood products produced domestically or imported into the United States. EPA worked with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to help ensure the final national rule was consistent with the California’s requirements for similar composite wood products.
Regularly Lab Test
Every shipment of product is closely examined by Twelve Oaks® highly trained Quality Control team, who reside at the manufacturing facility full-time.
