To uncover the the truth about hypoallergenic floors we need to define the term. First the term then look at how it is used in the flooring market. Frankly, it is dangerous what you find when you search for hypoallergenic floors. There should be no laminate or LVT results in the search but there they are, one page one. In reality, hypoallergenic, used in advertising really has very little meaning in today’s global market. The perfect hypoallergenic floor with finish.
Who decides what are considered hypoallergenic floors?
There are no Federal standards or definitions that govern the use of the term “hypoallergenic.” The term means whatever a particular company wants it to mean, usually just enough for the industry. For example, cosmetics have a higher threshold than hypoallergenic floors & finishes; but remember it does not matter because there are no standards defining the term. If you have seen the movie ‘The Wolfe of Wall street’, this is fugazzi, smoke, vapor it does not exist. Other marketing garbage.
