Recently, people have begun to pay more attention to the level of environmental friendliness of purchased finishing materials. This is due to the fact that toxins secreted by some of them can negatively affect the human body. Consider how to choose a skin that will be absolutely safe for human life and health.
The fundamental factor in this matter is the economy. As a rule, the cheaper the material, the more it is filled with chemical composition. Probably many people know that high-quality and environmentally friendly finishes, in the form of stone and wood, will never be cheap.
In fairness, it is worth noting that not all budget options for materials carry a risk. In order to make sure that the sheathing of plastic or other material is not natural origin, is not dangerous, it is recommended to ask the seller for sanitary and epidemiological conclusion. This document is always issued after laboratory testing of the material. If there is no certificate or any other document confirming the quality, then it is better to consider a different type of skin.
Do not ignore such an indicator as smell. In environmentally friendly and safe materials, it is almost always absent or not so harsh than in chemical ones.
In order to be sure that the skin does not contain harmful elements for human health, it is important to pay attention to the labeling. Products intended for residential premises have the symbol “E1”. Quite often you can find other signs on the package. "E2" indicates that the material can be used in the passage room, and "E3" indicates the inadmissibility of use in an apartment or residential building.
Of great importance for the level of environmental friendliness and safety of the material is the producing country. For example, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Sweden are distinguished by the most stringent standards and requirements for manufactured products. By purchasing the skin made in these countries, you can be absolutely sure of its safety.
If when choosing building materials the main goal is not to save, and budget options are not a priority, then it is recommended to abandon the sheathing using PVC. It is better to replace it with wood, metal, glass or “chlorine-free” plastic, which belong to the group of absolutely safe materials.
