Welcome to Claerbout Furniture & Flooring, your trusted family-owned flooring store serving Cedar Grove, WI, since 1953. As experts in the industry, we understand the importance of providing our customers with not only quality products but also valuable information to make informed decisions about their flooring choices. Today, we want to shed light on a crucial aspect of vinyl flooring: VOC.
VOC, or Volatile Organic Compounds, are chemicals that can evaporate into the air at room temperature. These compounds can have both short and long-term adverse health effects on humans and the environment. In the context of vinyl flooring, VOCs are typically found in the adhesives, finishes, and backing materials used in the manufacturing process.
At Claerbout Furniture & Flooring, we prioritize the health and well-being of our customers, which is why we offer a wide selection of vinyl flooring options with low VOC emissions. Choosing low-VOC vinyl flooring is not only beneficial for indoor air quality but also for the overall sustainability of your home environment.
Here's why VOC emissions matter when selecting vinyl flooring:
- Indoor Air Quality: High levels of VOC emissions can contribute to poor indoor air quality, leading to respiratory issues, headaches, and other health concerns, especially for individuals with sensitivities or allergies. By opting for low-VOC vinyl flooring, you can create a healthier living space for you and your family.
- Environmental Impact: VOC emissions not only affect indoor air quality but also contribute to outdoor air pollution and the depletion of ozone. By choosing low-VOC vinyl flooring, you're making a conscious decision to reduce your carbon footprint and minimize environmental harm.
- Odor Reduction: Vinyl flooring with high VOC levels often emits strong chemical odors, known as off-gassing, which can be unpleasant and linger in your home for an extended period. Low-VOC vinyl flooring significantly reduces these odors, creating a more comfortable and inviting indoor environment.
- Compliance with Regulations: Many governments and regulatory bodies have established guidelines and standards for VOC emissions in building materials, including flooring. By selecting low-VOC vinyl flooring that meets or exceeds these standards, you ensure compliance with regulations and contribute to a safer, healthier living environment.
At Claerbout Furniture & Flooring, we're committed to offering high-quality vinyl flooring options that prioritize safety, sustainability, and durability. Our knowledgeable team is here to assist you in finding the perfect flooring solution that meets your needs and exceeds your expectations.
