At Belletetes of Brookline (formerly Bingham Lumber), we believe your home should be a haven of health and happiness. As we begin a new year, let’s prioritize wellness by delving into two key elements that significantly impact your indoor environment, wood flooring and its effect on air quality.
But how, or why, are wood floors better for your overall health?
Reduced Allergens
Unlike carpets that trap tons of dust, pollen, and pet dander, wood floors boast a smooth surface allowing for easy cleaning, and minimizing allergens that trigger respiratory issues.
Improvement on Air Quality
No more dust mites. These microscopic critters thrive in fabric and have the ability to seriously exacerbate allergies and asthma. If your health is important to you, you will want to make sure that dust mites don’t cause havoc in your home.
Respiratory Relief
Are you suffering from allergies and asthma? Then wood floors are a fantastic first step to feeling better. Not only will you find relief from dust mites, but wood floors will also deliver massive improvements to respiratory health by reducing all allergens.
Easy Maintenance
One of the keys to making your air quality better is simply maintenance. Wood floors are far easier to maintain than carpets. Regular sweeping and mopping with gentle cleaning products will keep them looking their best and also minimize allergens. Wood floors even have a natural resistance to mold and mildew.
Fewer VOC
But what in the world is a VOC? These three letters stand for “volatile organic compounds,” which can be extremely harmful to your health. Because wood floors are made from natural materials, they emit very few of these VOCs.
