Our Commitment
Safety &
Sustainability
Every product we ship is tested, certified, and built to protect the people who live with it — not just to meet the minimum bar.
Built to breathe easy.
At Portofino, safety isn't a checkbox — it's baked into every step of our supply chain. We go beyond what most markets require, pursuing independent third-party certifications so you never have to wonder whether the floor beneath your family's feet is safe.
Our products are non-toxic, low-VOC, and tested by the State of California under CARB's Airborne Toxic Control Measure — the most comprehensive formaldehyde standard in North America.
Certifications
Every claim, independently verified.
CARB2 Compliant
< 0.05 PPM formaldehydeAll Portofino products are certified CARB2 Compliant, with formaldehyde emissions at less than 0.05 PPM — the California Air Resources Board's most stringent standard.
FloorScore Certified
Independent certificationWe voluntarily maintain FloorScore certification — an independent standard for indoor air quality that goes beyond what's legally required in most markets.
Low VOC
< 275 g/l VOCOur finish systems use low-VOC formulations at less than 275 g/l, keeping your indoor air clean from the moment installation is complete.
Lacey Act Compliant
Legal chain-of-custody verifiedWe source all wood products in full compliance with the Lacey Act — the federal law protecting against trade in illegally harvested wood.
FloorScore certification is issued by the Resilient Floor Covering Institute and SCS Global Services. It tests for over 100 VOC compounds — and we pass.
