Good indoor air quality is important for health, well-being, the ability to learn and is especially important for those with health challenges such as asthma, allergies and sensitivities. Poor indoor air quality may negatively affect the function and quality of life. So, should we not consider what we chose to put into our homes carefully?

" The interior material you use can affect the indoor air quality of your home. "

As walls and ceilings are vast surfaces of your interior it is essential to consider how the materials you select will affect the air quality of your home.

Numerous chemical substances are found in manufactured products, including textiles, toys, cleaning products and also building materials. Many of these chemical substances may be released as fumes and can adversely affect the air we breathe. It is unrealistic to avoid all these, however, would it not be great to reduce this emission where you can? Our Nordic Wall and Nordic Ceiling panels made from Huntonit in Norway are probably the cleanest wood-based panels on the market, and they stand out with their commitment to maintain healthy indoor air quality.

What makes these panels unique? These Huntonit products are the only pre-painted panels recommended by the Norwegian Asthma and Allergy Foundation. They hold the highly valued and globally recognised Indoor Climate Award from the Danish Technological Institute and have undergone meticulous testing to ensure they are free from toxic fumes. They also have been awarded a M1 rating for emissions, representing the highest standard emission criteria. To achieve this rating, the panels have passed rigorous testing of emissions, checking for compounds like ammonia, formaldehyde and carcinogens, and an odour test.
