Techlam is a 100% natural porcelain tile product that is more environmentally friendly than conventional porcelain tiles. It produces less CO2 emissions during production and transportation due to its larger format and lighter weight. When using Techlam tiles, CO2 emissions per square foot can be reduced up to 69% compared to standard porcelain tiles. Additionally, Techlam tiles provide savings through easier and faster installation, less need for maintenance and repairs over time, and reduced freight costs due to their lighter weight.

3. Example: 500 mile Truck Shipment
Truckload = 45,000 lbs
Grams of CO2 emitted per Truckload Per Mile
Truck: 759.61 grams per mile (Source: Global Average Basis: Greenhouse
Gas ProtocolDistance Based methodology for calculating CO2 emissions' of
472 grams per KM/759.61 grams per mile)
Square Footage Per Truckload Shipment
Standard porcelain tile shipment 10,800 square feet @ 4 lbs sq ft
Techlam 3, 3+ shipment 35,000 square feet @ 1.15 lbs sq ft
CO2 Emissions per landed Square foot calculation
500 mile shipment creates 379805 grams of CO2
Standard porcelain tile: 379805 grams /10,800 SF = 35.17 grams per Landed SF
Techlam 3, 3+ shipment: 379805 grams /35000 SF = 10.85 grams per Landed SF
69.15% Reduction in CO2 Per Landed Square Foot
when using Techlam 3, 3+ Format over
conventional Porcelain Tile

FUNCTIONAL BENEFITS = $AVINGS
Large format provides faster and easier installation = Less Labor
Graffiti resistant surface near 0 absorption = Less Maintenance
Scratch and abrasionresistant 8 on MOHS scale = Less Repairs
No UV radiation or climaticimpact = Less Replacement
71% reduction in shipping weight per square foot when compared to
standard porcelain tile = Less Freight
Standard porcelain tile average lbs square foot 4.00 lbs
Techlam porcelain tile average lbs square foot - 1.15 lbs
Reduction of 2.85 lbs per square foot (71 %)
Results: Less (Labor+Maintenance+Repairs+Replacement+Freight) =
More $avings.
