What does healthy living really mean? 7 criteria you should know about
“Healthy living” is a term that is heard more and more often these days—but what exactly does it mean? For many builders, renovators, and families, it's about more than just beautiful rooms. Healthy living describes how much materials, furniture, and building products influence the indoor climate and quality of life.
Ein wohngesundes Zuhause ist frei von Schadstoffen, fördert das Wohlbefinden und sorgt für eine gesunde Raumluft. Doch worauf sollte man achten? Hier sind 7 Kriterien, die wirklich wichtig sind.
7 criteria for a healthy home
- absence of pollutants
Products should be free of PVC, plasticizers, and other problematic ingredients. These can evaporate and pollute the indoor air. CERAMIN® sets standards here: free of PVC, phthalates, and other harmful plasticizers.
- Low-emission materials
Healthy living products have low VOC (volatile organic compound) levels. Not only do they contribute to fresher air, they also prevent headaches and allergies.
- Allergy-friendly
A healthy floor or wall covering should be easy to clean and not trap dust and dirt permanently. This makes cleaning easier and creates a hygienic environment—especially important for allergy sufferers.
- Sustainable production
Healthy living also means that materials are manufactured in an environmentally friendly manner and are recyclable. This conserves resources, which benefits human health and the environment in the long term. CERAMIN is 100% recyclable and is produced in Germany in an energy-efficient manner.
- Durability without harmful substances
A floor or kitchen splashback must be suitable for everyday use. In this context, healthy living means robust and durable, without the use of problematic additives. CERAMIN combines durability with healthy living.
- Pleasant indoor climate
Healthy materials contribute to a balanced indoor climate. They are warm underfoot, reduce noise, and thus create comfort.
- Certifications & Proofs
Trusted seals such as Blue Angel or eco-INSTITUT provide assurance that products have been tested for their healthiness in the home. CERAMIN carries the relevant certifications and thus guarantees tested quality.
Conclusion: Healthy living is more than just a trend
Healthy living means that materials protect the health of residents, are produced sustainably, and remain durable and practical at the same time. Those who pay attention to healthy living products when renovating or building new homes not only create a beautiful home, but also a place where they can feel comfortable in the long term.
CERAMIN® manages to achieve this balancing act: free from chlorine, plasticizers, and PVC, robust in everyday use, sustainably produced—and therefore a safe choice for anyone who wants to live healthily and responsibly.
