Eco-friendly interior
The choice of materials for wall decoration should be well thought out, especially if people with allergies live in the house. But an eco-friendly interior is not only suitable for allergy sufferers.
Eco-friendly interior according to Euro-standard
Today, representatives of the special commission of the European Union have tightened the standards for the presence of harmful volatile substances in the composition of building materials. When buying products for wall finishing, it is worth checking how much the product meets the requirements of the new EU directive. Most manufacturers have managed to adapt their products to stricter requirements, which is clearly indicated on the packaging. Moreover, this is a good marketing ploy, because everything environmentally friendly is fashionable. However, even compliance with EU standards does not mean that the product is absolutely safe and does not emit any harmful compounds. The new rules only allow you to reduce the level of various harmful substances in the composition of finishing products, but this does not always mean that they are not there at all. Chemical additives allow you to produce higher quality paints, wall panels and other finishing materials, but often this means that the products are not as harmless as we would like. However, many manufacturers have recently begun to specialize in the production of exclusively "eco" products, therefore, finding environmentally friendly building materials on the domestic market and making an eco-friendly interior will not be difficult.
Purity of nature
Gypsum and lime as finishing materials have been known to man since time immemorial. Gypsum, as is known, has the ability to control the microclimate of premises, in addition, it blocks the reproduction of harmful microorganisms and fungi. Finishing materials based on natural gypsum, lime and cement, without chemical additives, are an excellent solution for those who want to live in an environmentally friendly house or make an environmentally friendly interior.
When choosing paints and glues, pay attention to products without formaldehyde and other substances harmful to humans and the environment. All types of ceramic tiles, stone and wood do not pose a health hazard. For wood treatment, instead of chemical solvents and varnishes, it is worth using impregnations based on natural linseed oil.
Good old wallpaper
A healthy way to decorate walls is to use paper, textile and cellulose wallpaper. Such wallpaper does not emit harmful chemicals and does not attract dust. Many types of modern wallpaper are resistant to moisture, which makes it easy to keep them clean. Embossed wallpaper is especially interesting from the point of view of interior design. Embossed "eco-wallpaper" is produced exclusively on the basis of natural substances, without chemical additives. The background image is created from a specially compressed mixture of cellulose and textile fibers. Fans of everything environmentally friendly will appreciate the fact that modern wallpaper is often made from recycled materials - waste paper or wood chips.
