If you're in the process of finding new flooring for your home, chances are you've come across phrases like "low VOCs", "low tox", and "off-gassing". You want to ensure that whatever floor you put in your home not only looks great, but doesn't effect the health of your home years down the road.
As a FloorScore Certified product, Stoneform is an ideal option for providing both beauty and peace of mind. Here's how:
What are VOCs
In order to understand the fear behind VOCs and off-gassing, it's important to first understand what VOCs are. VOCs refer to Volatile Organic Compounds. These are carbon based compounds that easily evaporate at room temperature and "off-gas". VOCs can be found in many household products including paint, cleaners, building materials, and yes, flooring.
People choose low VOC options in order to avoid potential harmful effects such as headaches and dizziness and in some cases, increased risk of cancer.
What does low VOCs mean
Low VOCs means a product has significantly fewer volatile organic compounds than traditional alternatives. Products listed as Low VOCs improve indoor air quality and reduce health and environmental risks.
Our two flooring lines - Stoneform and Versaform - are both FloorScore Certified for low VOCs, meaning you don't have to worry about any harmful effects of having a Hewn floor in your home.
