Understanding VOCs and Indoor Air Quality
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are chemicals that can be emitted from common household materials like paints, furniture, and certain flooring products. According to the EPA, VOC levels can be significantly higher indoors than outdoors.
Lower-quality flooring can contribute to this problem. That’s why choosing the right materials matters.
GREENGUARD Gold Certified for Cleaner Air
All COREtec luxury vinyl flooring is GREENGUARD Gold certified, meaning it has been independently tested to meet strict standards for low chemical emissions.
This certification ensures COREtec floors:
- Emit very low levels of VOCs
- Support healthier indoor air quality
- Meet standards used in schools and healthcare environments.
For you, that means more than peace of mind, it means confidence in every decision you make for your home.
