Poor Indoor Air Quality
People desire good health and for most, their home is the sanctuary that they spend most of their time in. A healthy lifestyle leads to a happy life, and it stems from an individual’s home environment.
Many people often overlook the vast amount of toxic fumes present in our living spaces. They often experience the pungent smell coupled with a watery-eye sensation in their newly renovated homes, but never wondered about the root cause. Renovation works emit harmful chemicals, particularly from new building and furnishing products. They continuously release pollutants that lingers for extended periods of time. These pollutants results in poor indoor air quality which may lead to headaches, fatigue, respiratory irritation and reduced productivity. Research studies also suggests that long-term high-level exposure to some of these pollutants may increase the risk of cancer. |
Health Effects On VOCs Exposure

Solution to Healthier Living Space
Formaldehyde is one of the most common gas that is emitted from newly installed built-in furniture at home through the process call off gassing. This process could take months to years. This is because Formaldehyde-based resin is used in construction materials due to its low cost. It is a growing concern as the toxic discharged can cause health problems overtime. Studies have shown that prolong exposure to high concentration of Formaldehyde could increase the risk of cancer.
At Micalite, our Decorative Laminate Panels utilises quality raw materials that abides by the low Formaldehyde emission and TVOC standards set down by the "Singapore Green Council". This promises not only environmentally sustainable products but also a safe-to-use product for our consumers.

The Core; The Blockboard
There are a wide range of core material selections in the market. But how well do we understand the core materials used in our renovation works, and are we assured that they are achieving the quality expected?
