Question
I am looking for a low VOC carpeting option for carpeting. Do you know of any sources?
I am also looking for a low VOC padding material, please.
Answer
Gary,
To find low VOC carpeting I would recommend looking for products that are certified under the Carpet and Rug Institute's (CRI) Green Label/Green Label Plus program.
- This is a third party certification that tests and verifies low emitting carpet.
- You can get carpet, padding, and adhesives that are certified under the program.
Use the "search" button the righthand side of their website to find a list of certified products. You should ask your local carpet stores if they carry these products.
