LION Floor is the lower impact alternative for plywood used in resilient flooring installation.
Made from by-product of the wood processing industry, LION Floor has been proven to have an environmental impact considerably lower than other European made particleboard or plywood. So, if you’re looking to reduce the footprint of your resilient flooring installations, then making the switch to LION Floor is a no brainer.

Because LION Floor uses wood by-products (a CO2 store that would have otherwise gone to incineration and have released carbon back into the atmosphere) they lock-in more carbon throughout their lifetime than products using virgin wood.

Manufacturer of LION Floor, Finnish Fibreboard, has carried out a lifecycle analysis of its LION Boards range and the results are now available in a third-party verified EPD. The EPD looks at the cradle to gate lifecycle of LION Boards and provides calculations across material composition, manufacturing and packaging. It is verified by EPD Hub, which internally reviews manufacturer data before publication.

For material composition, LION Boards record a 98.4% secondary material input (wood industry by-product) and a 0% secondary material output, meaning that no material is wasted in the production of boards. For every cubic metre of LION Boards produced (weighing 980kg), the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of LION Floor’s lifecycle is -1,771kgCO2, significantly less than European made particleboard at -618kgCO2* or European made plywood at -888kgCO2*.
