Environmentally friendly carpets help homes be healthy and beautiful

The movement to live in healthy and sustainable homes is growing. Empire Homes in Canada has created a collection of luxury home designs that look stylish and contemporary, are environmentally friendly, and energy efficient.

Materials that produce gas, contain formaldehyde, and high VOC content are not used in its homes. In many homes, resins, glues, flooring, carpets, paints, and insulation materials can contain toxic substances. There are many natural and safer alternatives available.

People in the Chester, Wrexham and North Wales areas that move into a new house are often expected to arrange for their own carpets to be installed. There are many eco-friendly carpet choices available, including ones made from natural fibres such as organic wool, cotton, or jute. Backing can be made from environmentally friendly materials and glued on with non-toxic adhesives.

Thick natural carpets also have insulating properties to make homes more energy efficient.

According to Kevin Mullen of Canadian home builder, Empire Homes:

“As a society we have become very focused on wellness and fitness, eating organically, wanting to know where our food comes from, but we have never asked any of those questions about our homes and I think that is to our detriment.”

Mullen recommends that equal care should be taken about what goes into homes. He says that:

“Healthy and beautiful go hand in hand.”

Natural wood floors and eco-friendly carpets in the North Wales and Chester area look beautiful and make homes more healthy to live in.
