Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted as gases from certain liquids, including some flooring finishes. VOCs include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. Protective finishes are often formulated with solvents (or VOCs) to improve performance and durability. Products may be described as low-VOC when they give off gas significantly less than other products. Some flooring finishes qualify as low-VOC because their formulas have been modified.

VOCs may be a factor while your flooring is being installed, during the curing process, or afterward. Manufacturer's guidelines offer specific instructions about how to handle this issue during installation and afterward.
