New TCNA bulletin highlights ceramic tile's inherent health
Ceramic tile manufacturers, distributors, dealers and those involved in the sale and selection of construction materials have a new resource available to communicate the many benefits of choosing ceramic tile, particularly when health and safety are primary considerations.
Tile Council of North America (TCNA) produced a bulletin to provide at-a-glance information in response to increasing interest in the human health and safety aspects of various building materials, in both commercial and residential construction. "People are seeing media reports on formaldehyde in laminate flooring, and phthalates in the PVC in vinyl flooring, and are worried," said TCNA Executive Director, Eric Astrachan. "Just last week Dr. Oz did a segment on the potential toxicity of laminate flooring products. We don't know which products specifically are concerning, but what we do know, and what we want to help consumers understand, is that these concerns are simply non-issues when it comes to ceramic tile."
