For healthier indoor air quality, only low VOC paints and adhesives for wallcovering and flooring were used. These products contain minimum amounts of volatile compounds, like formaldehyde, which are commonly found in standard carpet, paint, and adhesives. All of The Morse's carpeting has been certified by The Carpet and Rug Institute as Green Label Plus indicating that it meets stringent criteria for low chemical emissions.
