There is a new flooring product on the market that according to its manufacturers can purify the air, but is it safe? Hermetically sealed homes may be energy efficient but they may also lock in airborne toxins. According to a new WHO report,
4.3 million deaths in 2012 are attributable to indoor air pollution. This new product could be a revolutionary way of improving indoor air quality. However, this air purifying hardwood floor is the first of its kind, so there is no history that can be studied.
The new flooring product is called Pure Genius® smart hardwood flooring and it is manufactured by Lauzon Distinctive Hardwood Flooring one of the leading hardwood flooring manufacturers in North America. The company distinguishes itself through its environmental commitment which includes "sustainable resources" and other initiatives. On their website they list the conversion of wood pellet residue into fuel as one of their environmental initiatives.
