How To Clean The Air In Your Home
There are three ways to clean the air in your home. You can remodel with green paints and wall coverings, use Aprilaire home air systems, or do both. The best thing that you can do to protect the health of your family is to do both.
Green paints and wall coverings
There are many different types of wall coverings that can be called green. Here are the five best that you can use:
-
Non/low VOC paints. These paints have nearly eliminated the harmful chemicals that older paints leach into the air that you breathe.
-
Milk paints. These are eco friendly paints that are made with skim or buttermilk as a base. It may sound crazy, but these paints have no chemicals in their base.
-
Eco friendly wall plaster . This is another popular wall covering. These plasters can be purchased in several textures to help bring out the little nuances in your homes’ interior.
-
Wall Tiling. You can buy glass, ceramic, or cork. These different types of tiling can beautify, dampen sound, and lower you environmental impact at the same time.
-
Bamboo. Yea, bamboo. An alternative to wallpaper, bamboo wall flats make use of the fastest growing grass you can think of. On top of being easily regrown, it dampens outside noises and is all natural, so no chemicals to get into your homes’ air.
Aprilaire
Aprilaire is a total home air cleaning system. You can control temperature, humidity, and many other things with an Aprilaire system. Cleaner air means fewer asthma attacks and colds in the house each year. A new air system can pay for itself in less than five years with energy savings and the money saved on doctor visits alone. New tax credits are a helpful incentive, too.
It has been proven that some of the dirtiest air in the world is the air in your house. Knowing that, protecting your family from that polluted air becomes a top priority. When you remodel use green paints and wall covering and then let Aprilaire help you finish up cleaning the air in your home.
