Importance of Healthy Interiors

Creating healthy indoor spaces is crucial for the well-being of everyone who steps into them. BOLON's flooring solutions offer numerous benefits for achieving clean air in your indoor spaces. With a strong commitment to promoting healthy interiors, BOLON goes beyond traditional flooring options to enhance indoor air quality. Here are some key points highlighting the clean indoor air benefits of BOLON:

BOLON flooring is designed and manufactured with a focus on reducing volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. VOCs can contribute to poor indoor air quality and cause respiratory discomfort.

BOLON’s commitment to clean indoor air is reinforced by certifications from recognized organizations that evaluate and verify indoor air quality standards. These certifications assure customers that BOLON flooring has undergone rigorous testing to meet or exceed the highest benchmarks for indoor air quality. Recommended by The Norwegian Asthma and Allergy Association (NAAF), BOLON flooring also contributes to reducing allergens in indoor environments, helping to create an allergy-friendly space.
