Huggins Wood Floor Specialists is located in Westfield, New Jersey. Joe Avila, the company CEO and highly credentialed NWFA certified installer, inspector and teacher has grown his company since 2002. Joe is highly passionate about using and promoting green, eco conscious, Zero VOC (volatile organic compounds) products. In layman’s terms VOC’s are organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at room temperature. Their high vapor pressure causes large numbers of carcinogenic molecules to evaporate and enter the atmosphere, known as “gassing off”.
Joe Avila stresses that whichever floor finish you choose, the products will have different impacts on the health of your home and the environment. Traditional varnishes all contain varying levels of VOC’s; although the odor may be undetectable for days or weeks, the effects of these volatile organic compounds on you and your family’s health. Polyurethane finishes will continue to “gas off” or pollute the air in your home for 90-100 days. Prolonged exposure to products containing high levels of VOC’s have compounding long-term health effects.
For the past decade WOCA Denmark and Vermeister natural plant based finishes have remained Huggins Wood Floor Specialists preferred choices for Zero VOC flooring, with great return on the overall health and safety of your most precious asset, family.
