An increasing number of studies point in the same direction. Indoor climate is crucial to our health, well-being and productivity. It is particularly important for children, who need to grow and learn, to spend their lives in rooms with clean air and a good indoor climate. Most of us spend the greatest part of our days indoors. That places great demands on the buildings in which we live. Building materials with proven low degasifications help ensure a healthy indoor environment for the users of finished buildings. That is why building certifications prioritise testing and documentation of the indoor climate properties of the products.

VOC is another term for chemical substances released into the air: for example, from building materials and fixtures that could adversely affect the indoor climate. Good ventilation can help reduce the concentration of chemical degasifications in the air, but it is even better to remove the cause of the degasifications by choosing the right building materials. A standardised degasification test in indoor climate chambers reveals the amount of chemical degasifications from a material, thereby ensuring that the product does not contribute to increasing the total amount of chemical degasifications in a building.

In order to maintain our certification, DEKO’s production is regularly checked, and our products are regularly tested to guarantee the same high level of environmental performance over time. Eurofins Indoor Air Comfort Gold provides us, in a single certificate, with proof that our products comply with the most important and most-recognised indoor climate and environmental labels in Europe. The image gallery below shows the certified products.
