Avant wins the world-renowned Gaia Award for sustainability

Avant has been awarded “The Gaia Award 2013” for their sustainable composite flooring range. The Gaia Awards are the construction industry’s most respected method of recognition for the development and manufacture of sustainable building products. A panel of industry experts with acclaimed credentials, carefully select winners who are expected to demonstrate an exceptional and unique product that has successfully been integrated into the built environment.

The Gaia Awards were launched in 2008 to honour companies in the construction sector whose products and services demonstrate a reduction of construction’s impact on the environment. This international award ceremony was held at the Big 5 Exhibition in Dubai, the region’s largest and best-attended construction trade show, where renowned companies showcase their products and technologies.

Environmental awareness is becoming increasingly important within the construction industry as new building regulations encourage or require that all new buildings meet international green building standards. The Gaia Awards aim to promote a company’s responsibility to the environment by recognising their achievements and providing a platform for companies to highlight their ‘green’ products and showcase future developments. Avant Flooring is committed to protecting the environment through the development of high-performance, energy-efficient green flooring solutions and environmentally friendly technologies.
