Yes! Allergies, asthma and other breathing disorders, diseases, rashes and other discomforts are commonly linked directly back to the materials found in your home.
Vireo uses all natural, non-toxic materials. The wood in our houses comes from forests consciously managed for over 300 years. Our vendors are carefully selected for their sustainability, integrity and attention to detail. One of the frequent arguments against revolutionizing American construction techniques is that ultra-tight building envelopes will hold the poisons that come from off-gassing in the home. Many rightfully argue that American homes need to leak air in order to clean the bad air from the home, which is necessary when homes are filled with toxic chemicals emitting VOCs.
You know that ‘new house smell’? It’s actually not a good thing! Those chemicals in the air can make you sick. But lack of leaking and minimal air-transfer is no issue in Vireo homes thanks to hypo-allergenic, safe construction materials and organic finishes. We make it possible to enjoy efficiency, beauty and a healthy home.
