Carpet for asthma sufferers

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Carpet for asthma sufferers – this has long been a bone of contention.  Thankfully, the scaremongering of days gone by has ceased.  That said, we cannot get away from the fact that the message has stuck with some.  There is still a misconception that for those with asthma, carpet should be avoided.  We as an organisation, and as an industry, have long been guarded and defensive about the contribution carpet can make to indoor air quality.  But is it time to get on the front foot? In January the Daily Mail ran a piece entitled ‘Could the air in your home be killing you’?  The text was factually accurate and drew attention to the potential effects on health from airborne toxic chemical pollutants that are not dispersed because of inadequate ventilation in UK homes.

Increasingly, however, research is producing evidence that carpet, rather than being hazardous, has distinct health benefits.  The three dimensional construction of a carpet is such that many airborne pollutants, which need to be breathed in to cause harm, become collected in the pile of a carpet, until removed by routine vacuum cleaning, so preventing their recirculation in indoor air.

Carpet is not bad for you if you have asthma – fact!

Click Engineered Wood flooring from Mawson Floors

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Big news this week is the new range of Click Engineered Wood flooring from Mawson Floors.

Our Engineered Wood flooring can cost a little more than solid wood but it does makes for a more stable floor with much less chance of movement such as expanding, contracting, bowing and cupping. This is due to the extra high density core which offers improved stability, greater impact resistance and improved efficiency with underfloor heating.

The wood is sourced from the heart of the Forest of Tronçais in France, a region which produces an unusually fine textured, unblemished oak, then hand finished in Britain for unrivalled quality control.

No volatile solvents are used in the manufacturing process and formaldehyde emissions have been reduced to negligible levels.

The floors are finished with natural, VOC free, Rubio Monocoat non toxic oils to further protect the air quality in your home.

The Mawson Floors range of Engineered Wood flooring is easy to maintain and isolated scratches or damaged areas are very easy to repair.
