Artigo BS Classic / BS Strong
The studded tile — the round-bollo rubber floor of transport interchanges, stairs and entrance halls, where the raised profile gives slip resistance and hides wear. At 8.20 kgCO₂e/m² it costs nearly twice the flat 2 mm sheet, and unlike the rest of the range it carries essentially no biogenic content: the declaration puts GWP-biogenic at a slightly POSITIVE 0.004, so the figure is fossil almost end to end.
Carbon and evidence
Product Evidence
Evidence currently held for the Artigo product record.
Recorded Carbon Result
A1–A3 GWP-total per m² of installed studded product. Read it with the use stage: maintenance is declared at 0.265 kgCO2e/m² PER YEAR, so on a 20-year floor cleaning contributes roughly 5.3 — a substantial share again.
Indicator: GWP-total
Artigo Artigo BS Classic / BS Strong (4790957837.107.2)A1–A3 covers raw-material supply, transport to manufacture and manufacturing. It is product-stage information, not a whole-life result.

Service Life — the B4 Replacement Input
1 year · EPD reference service life
RECORDED AS DECLARED, NOT AS EXPECTED LIFE. The declaration states a reference service life of 1 year and models the use stage over one year, because module B2 (maintenance) is declared per year. A rubber contract floor is specified to last decades; this figure is an artefact of the declaration's scope, not a durability claim.
≈60 installations over a 60-year building study period.
