Modern building materials often contain hidden toxins that can harm indoor air quality and long-term health. We take a different approach — prioritizing safe, sustainable alternatives that support both your home and your well-being.

Common Toxins Found in Conventional Materials

VOCs – In paints, sealants, adhesives: cause respiratory and neurological issues.

Formaldehyde – In plywood, MDF, and insulation: a known carcinogen.

Phthalates – In vinyl flooring and plastics: disrupt hormones.

Flame Retardants (PBDEs) – In insulation and cables: linked to developmental harm.

PFAS – In stain-resistant and waterproof coatings: persistent and toxic.

Asbestos – In older materials: causes severe lung damage.
