Whether you have a tiny infant, a lively three-year-old or a curious first-former – if you have kids at home, you want to give them everything. An imaginative children’s bedroom is definitely on the cards, with a cosy sleeping area, age-appropriate toys, and space to romp around or be creative. However, it takes more than the design of their space to ensure that your little ones feel comfortable here. The quality of the indoor air also contributes to their well-being. Too much air humidity is just as undesirable as air that is too dry. And volatile organic compounds – so-called VOCs – that can be emitted from building materials, furniture, wallpaper or carpets, can also have a negative impact on their health.
That is why, it is all the more important to consider closely your choice of bedroom furnishings. But where to start? Preferably with the largest surface area in the room: the walls and ceiling! Erfurt woodchip is the product of choice if you want to combine a healthy product with sustainability and your favourite look. This popular wallcovering has been pioneering when it comes to environmental friendliness and pollution-free indoor air for decades. Why? Because woodchip is made totally without harmful plasticisers, solvents and PVC, and is therefore proven to be low in emissions, with regard to VOCs too. It is also exclusively made from recycled paper and mixed with wood fibres from trees from controlled forests. It is with good reason that Erfurt woodchip has carried the “Blue Angel” environmental quality seal for decades, guaranteeing all users maximum safety in their choice of wallcovering. And even allergy-sufferers can use it without hesitation.
And there's more: this durable wallcovering is also moisture-regulating and breathable, and is capable of absorbing and releasing moisture, if necessary. Thus, when combined with correct ventilation, it can help to promote a healthy indoor climate. Woodchip is also quick to apply and can be flexibly designed with a brush and paint. What is more, as it can be re-painted several times, it also adapts to your children’s changing design taste over the years.
