Are you wondering if vinyl flooring is really safe for your health?, especially when it is made from PVC. The answer is YES, when vinyl flooring is manufactured to strict standards and uses high-quality materials. The safety of vinyl flooring depends on the quality and manufacturing process, and below is important information to help you understand better.
I. Standards for User Health
Modern vinyl flooring is manufactured to strict standards such as ISO9001/14001 and complies with ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and EN (European Standards) standards. These standards ensure that vinyl flooring does not contain toxic substances such as formaldehyde, lead, mercury, or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can be harmful to health. Formaldehyde is a substance commonly found in some interior materials and can cause serious health problems such as headaches, dizziness, eye irritation, and in severe cases, cancer. However, vinyl flooring does not contain formaldehyde, which helps minimize the risk of exposure to this toxic substance.
Moreover, vinyl flooring is also proven to be safe for the health of users, especially for children and the elderly - those who are susceptible to toxic substances. Vinyl flooring is made from virgin PVC plastic, odorless and harmless, helping to protect the health of users and is environmentally friendly. This is especially important in the context of more and more people being concerned about indoor air quality and environmental factors affecting health.
II. Benefits of Vinyl Flooring
In addition to being safe for health, vinyl flooring also has many other benefits:
Waterproof and moisture-proof: Vinyl flooring is 100% waterproof, which is difficult for natural wood and laminate flooring to achieve. This makes vinyl flooring an ideal choice for areas that are easily exposed to water such as bathrooms and kitchens.
Durable and Abrasion-resistant: Vinyl flooring is highly durable, can withstand strong impacts without being damaged. The floor surface is designed to be scratch-resistant, helping the floor maintain its beauty for a long time.
Anti-slip: With a high-friction surface, vinyl flooring helps to minimize slipping, especially safe for children and the elderly.
Antibacterial and Dirt-resistant: The surface of vinyl flooring is very easy to clean and does not allow bacteria or dirt to stick, helping to maintain a clean and safe environment.
When vinyl flooring is manufactured to the correct standards, it is not harmful to health and even brings many benefits such as water resistance, anti-slip, and antibacterial.
