Super E0 Boards: Your Choice for Eco-Friendly House Design
Sustainability has become a major focus in today’s world, and eco-friendly houses are emerging as a trend in the housing development scene. A green home is a concept where a home is designed to use less energy, water, and natural resources, provide good air quality and comfort, produce less waste, and align with sustainable development principles. Recognizing the high-quality advantages of living in a green home, everyone now wants their home to become eco-friendly and healthy to improve their lifestyles.
Nowadays, more Malaysians are prioritizing energy efficiency and sustainability in their homes, partly driven by a renewed focus on health, particularly respiratory health, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In this article, we will show you how Super E0 Boards offer an exceptional option for those who prioritize sustainability and environmental friendliness in creating a green home.
Making Your Homes Eco-Friendly and Green
Our homes are filled with various furnishings and items made from wood. This material has particles held together by adhesives, such as glue. These adhesives often contain a formaldehyde-based resin, a common ingredient in the creation of numerous wooden items including furniture, shelves, cabinets, countertops, and floor underlays. Normally, any object made from wood-based materials like particle boards or plywood is constructed using this chemical compound.
What is Formaldehyde?
Formaldehyde is a simple organic compound utilized for the manufacture of wood adhesives. It is a reactive compound that has several technical and chemical applications. Consequently, higher levels of formaldehyde are released into newly renovated spaces from sources such as carpentry works, furniture, and flooring.
Studies and researches have shown that formaldehyde poses significant health risks, particularly with long-term exposure. According to International Agency for Research on Cancer, formaldehyde is a carcinogen and can cause cancer to live tissues. It’s not only known to cause cancer but can also trigger allergic reactions, including contact dermatitis.
Because of these reasons, many countries across the globe have implemented strict regulations to limit formaldehyde emissions. In the year 2000, a series of standards were set by the European Panel Industry to regulate this emission from wood-based panels. According to different standards, these restriction levels include Super E0, E0, E1 and E2.
Formaldehyde Emission Level
| E2 <= 5.0 mg/L |
| E1 <= 1.5 mg/L |
| E0 <= 0.5 mg/L |
| Super E0 <= 0.3 mg/L |
What is Super E0?
Super E0 represents a new standard in formaldehyde emission control, going beyond the E0 grade with even lower emissions, making it the safest and most eco-friendly choice for household use. This advancement is significant for consumer health, emphasizing the importance of choosing materials that are Super E0 certified for your homes. If you are really concerned about making your home eco-friendly and healthy, then Super E0 certified materials and boards would be the ideal go-to solution.
What is the market offering now?
Currently, the market offers a range of wood products, primarily categorized by their formaldehyde emission standards, such as E0, E1, and E2. E0 boards, known for their minimal formaldehyde release, are becoming increasingly popular for their health and environmental benefits. However, E1 and E2 boards are still widely available and used, mainly due to their cost-effectiveness and compliance with safety standards.
These products cater to a diverse range of needs and budgets, with E1 and E2 boards often chosen for their affordability, despite having higher formaldehyde emissions compared to E0. A real-life example of the impact of these higher emission products is the common experience of burning sensations in the eyes and nose that many people encounter when entering newly renovated interiors.
How to Utilize Super E0 boards in Eco-Friendly House Design?
In designing an eco-friendly house, choosing Super E0 grade boards for your cabinets or flooring is essential to reduce formaldehyde emissions in your homes. These boards can be effectively used in various aspects of home construction and interior design, including kitchen cabinetry, bedroom furniture, bathroom vanities, and flooring solutions.
They are particularly beneficial in areas where health and air quality are paramount, such as children’s rooms and home offices. Other than that, Super E0 boards are ideal for custom storage solutions and decorative elements, enhancing both the aesthetic and environmental quality of the home. By choosing these low-formaldehyde emitting materials, homeowners can significantly improve indoor air quality, contributing to a safer and more sustainable living environment.
