Commercial Wallcovering and Indoor Air Quality.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), most Americans spend up to 90% of their time indoors. If you have a say in the materials to be used in an interiors project, you have a say in indoor air quality. Walls, carpets, paints, furniture and office equipment all have effects on the air inside a building. Sure, you want to use the most durable, economical and attractive materials available, but can you do so and still be environmentally sensitive?

Materials that emit a lower level of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during their initial installation as well as over the course of their useful life and that last beautifully for years with minimal maintenance requirements can be considered an environmentally preferred choice – especially when they also offer durability, longevity, quality and value.

OMNOVA Solutions can make this statement with confidence because our high quality wallcoverings are the first commercial wallcovering products to earn the GREENGUARD INDOOR AIR QUALITY CERTIFIED® designation. Over 90% of our vinyl wallcoverings can be specified in this low VOC emitting formula.
