Indoor air quality, allergens and/or odours ...
Resilient and hard-surfaced flooring are healthy alternatives to carpet. There are no places for dirt, allergens or moisture to hide. Vinyl and linoleum are great examples, and linoleum is naturally non-toxic and antimicrobial. Many materials used in the construction of a home release volatile organic compounds (VOC's), which are gasses that can trigger allergic reactions, including asthma and upper respiratory infections. Look for flooring with FloorScore™ certification, guaranteeing that it meets or exceeds low emission standards and will not adversely affect human life.
