Hardwood flooring positively impacts indoor air quality due to its natural composition and minimal emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Unlike carpets, hardwood doesn’t trap dust, allergens, or pet dander, making it a healthier choice for allergy sufferers.
Properly finished wood flooring emits low levels of VOCs, especially if certified finishes or low-emission products are used. It is also easy to clean, reducing the buildup of particles that could degrade air quality.
Furthermore, hardwood does not harbor mold or mildew when maintained correctly, contributing to a cleaner, healthier living environment over time.
