Choosing Low-VOC Wood Flooring for Healthy Indoor Air Quality

Indoor air quality has become a growing concern for many homeowners, designers and builders. Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) can lead to health problems, including respiratory issues, headaches, and fatigue. Concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors (up to ten times higher) than outdoors, according to the EPA, which makes choosing healthy, low-VOC products extremely important. Choosing healthy indoor building materials is essential for improving indoor air quality and overall health and wellness indoors.

The FSC® Difference: Supporting Sustainable Forestry for the Future

Deforestation is a major environmental issue in our modern world, as over harvesting and forest degradation not only significantly adds to carbon emissions (upwards of 20% of total global carbon emissions!), but also reduces the ability of forests to absorb existing carbon as well. Forests are vital ecosystems that support 80% of the world’s land animals and plants, including rare and endangered species, like the Sumatran tiger and Bornean orangutan.
