Not all LVP is created equal. Traditional vinyl flooring hasn’t always had the best environmental reputation, largely because of the materials used in production and end-of-life disposal issues. However, many modern manufacturers are rising to the challenge by creating products that are safer for both people and the planet. When we talk about exploring eco-friendly LVP flooring options available in Calgary, we’re looking at several key factors. One of the most important is low VOC (volatile organic compounds) emissions. These are chemicals that can off-gas from building materials and affect indoor air quality. Today’s eco-conscious LVP brands use low-VOC or zero-VOC finishes and adhesives, which means cleaner air for your home—especially important in Calgary’s long winter months when we spend so much time indoors.
