WHAT IS AN UNHEALTHY HOME?

In today's fast food and rush world, shortcuts have become a way of life. More convenient materials such as synthetics flood our homes. Manufacturers use preservatives, petroleum based chemicals and pesticide to insure the lifespan of their products. These same products can create health problems by producing poor indoor air quality. They may cause sore throats, insomnia, headaches and depression in people with chemical sensitivities.

In the worst possible cases, studies show that unhealthy homes cause asthma and worsen ADD symptoms in children.

Let us assist you in discovering what makes "your healthy home" by reviewing your new home plans, exploring your existing home, introducing specialists and selecting materials to simplify your life.

HOW DO I GET A HEALTHY HOME?

Different people have different sensitivities. You can start by observing your reactions when you are in contact with man made products or in different environments. You can strive to use the most healthy materials and products available. Proper ventilation is one of the easiest tools for maintaining clean air.

HEALTHY HOME TOOLS

LOW VOC PAINT

Most standard paint brands have volatile organic compounds (VOC) and synthetic biocides in them. These compounds can cause allergic reactions and give off petrochemical stimulants in the air.

HEALTHIER CARPETING & PADDING

97% of all carpeting in the United States is made of synthetic fibers and colored with aniline dye derived from nitrobenzene. These carpets often outgas hundreds of different chemicals into the atmosphere, including methacrylic acid and ehtylbenzene.

The healthier alternative to synthetic carpeting and padding is using a product made of 100%-wool yarn. It is an undyed, non-mothproofed wool carpet without harmful pesticides and glue.

You may also want to explore other flooring alternatives such as bamboo, cork or natural stone.

IMPROVE AIR QUALITY

Ventilation issues are one of the worst foes of the healthy home. Poor design layout of windows and air systems in your home are the usual culprit.

HOW CAN WE HELP?

We shine in defining your needs and finding the most attractive non-synthetic flooring materials for your entire house. We can help you select beautiful colors available in low VOC paints for your home. We will review your existing architectural plans and make sure that your home is being built to assure the utmost air quality. We are all unique in our sensitivities. Some people do best in homes with closed windows and carefully filtered air, while others thrive in open windows with a fresh breeze. You are the most important investigator in discovering the best solutions for your family.

WHAT ARE MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS?

Assisting customers in picking out all facets of the interior life of their home. From lighting to floor tiles, paint to carpet. Material specification aides you in assuring all little touches within your new home meet your standard of excellence.

WHAT IS PROPER VENTILATION IN A HEALTHY HOME?

All homes contain items that outgas pollutants into the air. Many new building materials outgas formaldehyde, preservatives, pesticides and other irritating chemicals. Proper ventilation can dilute the concentration of those chemicals. Older homes often have poor systems that do not get rid of the toxins in the air. Mold from hidden sources of moisture can affect your families health. Good ventilating systems and careful material selections will assure that your family is not breathing harmful pollutants in your home.
