Artigo Rubber Flooring 5 mm

The 5 mm build, specified where impact sound reduction or heavy trolley traffic demands more material — sports halls, plant rooms, back-of-house circulation. It is 8.13 kg/m² against 3.11 for the 2 mm, and the carbon tracks the mass almost exactly: 11.1 kgCO₂e/m², 2.4× the thinner sheet for 2.6× the material. Thickness is the carbon decision here, and it is usually made on acoustic or durability grounds.

Recorded Carbon Result

11.1kgCO₂e/m²

A1–A3 GWP-total per m² of installed 5 mm product. Read it with the use stage: maintenance is declared at 0.302 kgCO2e/m² PER YEAR, so on a 20-year floor cleaning contributes roughly 6.0 — a substantial share again.

Indicator: GWP-total

Artigo Artigo Rubber Flooring 5 mm (4790957837.104.2)

A1–A3 covers raw-material supply, transport to manufacture and manufacturing. It is product-stage information, not a whole-life result.

It is reported separately and never added to A-C. Do not compare bar lengths between materials. Each chart may use a different scale and declared unit.

* A4/A5 are EPD scenarios, not project-specific results. Module D is outside the A–C system boundary and is not added to A–C. Module nomenclature follows BS EN 15978 / EN 15804. Declared values are suitable as inputs to a whole life carbon assessment under the RICS Professional Standard (2nd edition); this panel is not an assessment.

Upfront Carbon (A1–A5)*

A1–A3 11.1 + A4 1.38 + A5 0.755 · GWP-total, as declared

* Includes the EPD’s A4/A5 scenario assumptions, not project-specific transport or installation. This is the aggregation the proposed Part Z applies upfront limits to. The A1–A3 figure includes declared biogenic storage of -0.195 kgCO₂e; Part Z aggregates upfront carbon excluding sequestered carbon, which is the assessor's adjustment to make.

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.

B4 (replacement) follows the building, not the product: an assessor multiplies replacement cycles by project quantities. This record supplies the service life and does not compute B4.

  • • The EPD is not linked to an evidence source.

Design & Specification Notes

Qualitative notes for early design discussion. Not product-specific EPD evidence, and not a basis for numerical comparison.

The 5 mm build, specified where impact sound reduction or heavy trolley traffic demands more material — sports halls, plant rooms, back-of-house circulation.

Typical Uses

  • Primary flooring
  • High-traffic circulation
  • Work areas

Key Performance

Hard-wearing surface for high footfall.

Specification Actions

  • Confirm the current EPD covers the selected product, finish and manufacturing route.
  • Calculate transport distances for primary materials.
  • Document material reuse or reclaimed content percentages.
