eco green kitchen remodeling

10 years ago

Don't want VOC's in my house, so am looking to a green renovation in kitchen.

Has anyone used marmoleum flooring, and DEKTON countertops?

Thank you....

VOC's (volatile organic compound) are mostly found in paints and glues.

Ceramic / porcelain tile with thin set contains no VOC's. Neither does any natural stone counter top material (like granite). Man made 'stone' is really crushed rock glued together with an epoxy like binder.

Besides - the VOC's evaporate and disburse into the atmosphere. They don't stay in your home.

We've had Marmoleum clicks in our hallway for 9 yrs.. It's been around forever and is natural. Wears beautifully!
