How New Flooring Can Help
Improve Indoor Air Quality
One of the primary focuses of Healthy Home Month is improving indoor air quality. We offer many flooring options that have no or ultra low VOCs. Replacing old worn carpet, padding or poor quality flooring can drastically improve the air quality of your home. Flooring technology has made drastic improvements in the manufacturing processes leading to cleaner safer products for the home. Waterproof flooring is also a great way to reduce the risk of mold growing in areas that are prone to moisture. Products that feature the WetProtect locking system have proven to be virtually 100% waterproof down to the sub floor. Learn more here: WetProtect

Effective Allergen Reduction
Using hard-surface products such as tile or vinyl in as many rooms as possible is an easy way to reduce the amount of allergens that collect in the home. They are easy solution to clean and maintain, noticably show visible dirt and dust and will not attract any moisture. Unfortunatly for how beautiful it can be, carpet may be the worst for attracting allergens. It can trap dust, dirt, pollen and even moisture in some homes and it is not always immediatley apparent. However, if you love carpet like us and have allergies there are some great options thanks to advancedments in flooring technology. Smartstrand carpet is hypo-allergenic carpeting made with fibers constructed from plastic bottles. The plastic fiber construction leads to less shedding, resistance to moisture and staining and an overall better home experience for those with allergy concerns.
