When people think about improving indoor air quality, flooring might not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, your flooring choice can significantly impact the air you breathe. At Dorset Contract Flooring, we help homeowners across Bournemouth and Dorset select flooring options that look great and contribute to a healthier living environment. Here’s how the right choice can improve your indoor air quality.
Low VOC Emissions
Many traditional materials release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air, negatively affecting health over time. Modern options like Karndean and Polyflor luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) are designed with low VOC emissions, making them safer for your home. These options provide a stylish and durable finish without compromising air quality.
Hypoallergenic Materials
Carpets and flooring with hypoallergenic properties help reduce allergens like dust, pollen, and pet dander. Wool carpets, for instance, naturally repel dust mites and mould, making them an excellent choice for allergy sufferers. Cushion and laminate are easy to clean, preventing allergens from accumulating.
Ease of Cleaning
Complex options like LVT, laminate, and cushion flooring are simple to clean, reducing the buildup of dust and dirt that can affect air quality. Regular vacuuming and mopping can help maintain a healthy environment, especially in high-traffic areas.
Moisture and Mould Resistance
Excess moisture can lead to mould growth, harming indoor air quality. Waterproof options, such as Polyflor’s ranges and Karndean’s LVT, prevent water from seeping into the material, reducing the risk of mould and mildew. These options are perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms.
Natural and Sustainable Flooring Options
Sustainable materials like bamboo, cork, and wool are eco-friendly and beneficial for indoor air quality. These natural options contain fewer chemicals and are less likely to release harmful emissions.
