Healthy floors

Article Abstract:

Health facilities have special requirements for their floor covering because of the need for more durable materials which meet environmental requirements. Health care designers called for more distinctive products with companion patterns that create depth. However, fiber and carpet manufacturers have developed products with carpet backing which have improved the absorbency of the floor covering without adding to the thickness. The industry has agreed to allow the Air Quality Sciences laboratory to conduct periodic checks of volatile organic emissions from floorcovering products.
