What changes: the finish
Zero and low-VOC waterborne finishes with published content, or hardwax oil where you want a natural look. Data sheets handed to you before we order anything.
What changes: the materials
Solid wood, no-added-formaldehyde engineered cores, natural linoleum and unglazed tile. Simpler assemblies with fewer ingredients to react to.
What changes: the process
Sealed containment and HEPA extraction during demolition and sanding, mechanical fastening over adhesive wherever possible, and a written cure and ventilation schedule so you know exactly when the room is ready for the baby or the dog.
how we do it
How the option works when you choose it
Tell us who lives there
Allergies, asthma, pets, a baby on the way. We ask before we quote, because it changes what we specify and what it costs.
Specify with documentation
Every product on the job comes with its data sheet, so you can review before we order.
Low-dust demolition
Containment, negative air and HEPA extraction during removal and sanding.
Install with safe adhesives
Mechanical fastening wherever possible, and low-emission adhesive where it is not.
Cure and ventilation plan
Written cure times and a ventilation schedule so you know exactly when the space is ready.
