Question
I want to put Armstrong laminate on my kitchen floor. Is there formaldehyde in laminate flooring?
I am concerned about formaldehyde.
Answer
In most cases, yes, there is formaldehyde in laminate flooring.
I have found no additional evidence in the case of Armstrong flooring; they do not make claims as to whether or not their products contain formaldehyde. In our experience, all manufacturers -- except for a few -- use adhesives that contain formaldehyde.
What is it about the laminate you are most attracted to? We might be able to find you a safer, healthier option.
