If you’ve ever walked into a freshly renovated room and noticed a strong, chemical smell, you’ve likely been exposed to volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These invisible toxins are found in many household products—especially traditional floor coatings—and they can have a lasting impact on your indoor air quality and overall health. Low VOC flooring is one of the smartest steps you can take to create a safer, healthier home.

At Lifetime Green Coatings, we’re committed to helping you make flooring choices that are not only beautiful and durable but also safe for your family and the planet.

What Are VOCs, and Why Are They Harmful?

VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) are chemicals that easily become vapors or gases, and they’re commonly released from paint, finishes, adhesives, and synthetic flooring materials like epoxy.

Prolonged exposure to VOCs can lead to:

  • Headaches and dizziness
  • Respiratory irritation and asthma flare-ups
  • Hormonal disruptions and long-term health risks
  • Poor indoor air quality, especially in enclosed spaces like basements and garages

And it’s not just VOCs you have to worry about—BPA (Bisphenol A), often found in epoxy and other resin-based coatings, is a known endocrine disruptor that can affect human development and hormone balance.
