Sustainable building practices are also making waves, such as the integration of geothermal heating systems to reduce energy consumption. Additionally, some forward-thinking companies are choosing locations close to populated areas, promoting bicycle commuting over car use to further lower their carbon footprint. By adopting these innovative strategies, manufacturers are not only contributing to a greener future but also setting new standards in sustainable practices across the industry.
Virtual Presentations: Making Them Effective and Efficient
While platforms like Zoom, Skype, and Teams are excellent for face-to-face meetings, they often fall short for delivering impactful presentations. Holding samples up to a computer camera can lead to poor visibility and clarity, and sharing PDFs tends to be less engaging and less informative than seeing products in person.
However, when executed effectively, virtual presentations can significantly reduce the carbon footprint associated with the specification cycle. By minimizing the need for sales representatives to fly, rent cars, or stay in hotels, companies can cut down on fuel consumption, lower CO2 emissions, and reduce resource use such as electricity and water.
At Summit International Flooring, we’ve mastered the art of effective virtual presentations that not only meet the expectations of presenters and designers but also promote sustainability. Discover how we’ve revolutionized virtual presentations to enhance your experience while contributing to a greener future.
Cutting-Edge Virtual Presentations with Studio-Quality Streaming
At Summit International Flooring, we’ve invested in state-of-the-art technology to deliver exceptional virtual presentations. Our custom-built studio is equipped with four high-definition cameras, including a handheld camera for detailed close-ups that surpass the clarity of standard computer camera views.
Our studio features multiple adjustable donut lights to ensure products are showcased exactly as they would appear in real life. During presentations we can seamlessly display room scenes or videos without sound, allowing for continuous conversation while visual content is presented.
To enhance the experience further, we handle sample requests with efficiency. Samples are shipped with UPS return labels in a single box for easy recycling and reuse. This approach maintains product quality while also supporting our commitment to sustainability.
Summit International Flooring’s Sustainable Selections
At Summit International Flooring, we are dedicated to both environmental stewardship and your well-being. We’ve rebranded from Unique Luxury to Sustainable Luxury, aligning our product offerings with our commitment to sustainability. Our website provides comprehensive details, but here are the core brands we proudly offer:
- OBJECT CARPET: Pioneering the creation of carpets made from either a single material (polyester) or two materials (nylon and polyester) combined through a heat process. These carpets are free of latex and fillers, achieving true cradle-to-cradle sustainability.
- GRANORTE CORK: Offering cork products that are more sustainable than wood. Cork bark is harvested without killing the tree, which continues to grow and be harvested every nine years over the tree’s 200-year lifespan. Cork is also VOC-free, making it a healthier alternative to vinyl, and biodegrades naturally if it ends up in a landfill.
- BIORAZZO: Bio-based terrazzo seamless poured floors, now available as tiles butted and glued without mortar. Castor trees, used to produce natural castor oil, absorb carbon dioxide during growth and require minimal water. Unlike acrylic terrazzo, our bio-based terrazzo emits no VOCs.
- Summit International Flooring’s EPDM Rubber: Our exclusive large-scale rubber tiles are crafted from non-recycled materials, offering vibrant colors without odors, and contributing to better indoor air quality.

That’s why we uphold the principle, “Our word is our bond!” and rigorously adhere to it.

Our commitment extends beyond product offerings.
