What’s “Off-Gassing” and Why Should You Care?

Certain building materials, like some flooring options, can release invisible compounds called VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) into your living space. 

These gasses can linger in the air, potentially triggering a host of nasty symptoms. These range from headaches and allergy flare-ups to more serious health issues over time. 

Among the most notorious VOCs is formaldehyde, a common ingredient in many building products. Even low-level exposure can irritate your eyes, nose, and throat. Long-term exposure to high levels of formaldehyde has been linked to respiratory issues and increased risk of certain cancers. It’s a hidden threat that can slowly undermine your well-being.

Beyond the Lab: How Our Results Translate to a Healthier Home

We voluntarily submit random samples of its flooring to Benchmark International, an independent third-party lab, for annual testing. The tests, which include the industry-standard ASTM D5582, measure the levels of VOCs, including formaldehyde, released from the flooring.
