PureTech- A zero PVC choice for flooring

PureTech- A zero PVC choice for flooring

Homeowners are more health-conscious than ever. We are seeing a growing number of customers shopping in our Delaware County and Chester County showrooms and asking about low-VOC and PVC-free flooring options for their homes. Armed with the knowledge that older and lower-quality vinyl plank flooring have been known to emit VOCs, homeowners want their building materials to be safe. Fortunately, flooring manufacturers now offer newer products that are even more environmentally friendly and better for your family’s health and the environment.

 

Hardwood, polished concrete and tile remain the absolute best options since they have no VOCs or PVCs, but this may not be the solution for every customer. We recently  had former customers reach out to us who wanted new floors for a primary bedroom, bathroom, closet at their beach home in Lewes, Delaware. Since this is a vacation home that gets a lot of use seasonally, they needed a product that was durable and low maintenance. Luckily, most brands of engineered wood are now zero-VOC or close to it. Since luxury vinyl floors are “floating”, an added benefit is that they do not require chemically laden adhesive to install. 

 

 

Our customers ended up selecting a luxury vinyl plank from Mohawk’s PureTech line. Here’s why they loved it:

  • - PureTech is 70% total recycled content and is zero PVC.

  • - The floors are both beautiful and durable.

  • - Luxury vinyl is low maintenance, stain resistant, and has waterproof protection.

  • - PureTech is made in the USA- an additional environmental benefit.

 

At Havertown Carpet Co, we carry three different collections of PureTech at our showroom in Malvern- the Ellenwood Collection, Native Ridge, and Avery Grove. The Ellenwood Collection has a timeless look and the warmth of a natural hardwood. If you are looking for something more rustic and easy to care for, our showroom staff would suggest Native Ridge. Our customers from Chester County ultimately selected Avery Grove for its sophisticated and contemporary style that complemented their beach house perfectly. 

 

We are confident that our customers will have peace of mind from this vinyl plank product. If you have questions or are looking for a low VOC or low PVC flooring option for your home, give us a call today. Our expert staff can give you options that will meet your needs and lifestyle.
