Flooring
Alert
Prefinished solid-wood, vinyl, and tile flooring are better choices when it comes to formaldehyde emissions. Just be sure to use glues that don’t contain the gas when installing those materials. Engineered-wood and laminate flooring products are made with glues and resins that can emit formaldehyde.
