Aruba (and Curaçao) procurement committees spec like Rotterdam: CE marking, Bfl-s1, FloorScore, and increasingly EPD + BREEAM-NL credit files. A low FOB price without paperwork is disqualified at bid opening.
TeFloor go-to specification for Aruba offices:
- Workspaces → CE-marked SD nylon carpet tile, EN 13501 Bfl-s1, 28 oz, 50×50, PVC back, E1 VOC
- Public circulation → glue-down LVT 0.55 mm, Bfl-s1, EN 14041, FloorScore
- Wet pantries → SPC only if client accepts it; otherwise European LVT (Aruban architects still associate SPC click with “Florida condo”)
To win: attach to every quote
- Declaration of Performance (DoP) with CE
- EPD or at minimum a verified HPD
- FloorScore + GREENGUARD Gold
- Same-batch replacement guarantee letter
Dutch-lessors also ask for demountable installation — carpet tile wins by default because raised-access floors dominate.
