Why does Urban Surfaces recommend hard surface flooring for classrooms, offices, and homes?

Hard surface flooring is one good step towards better indoor air quality because it:

• Repels the growth of microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, and mold
• Repels dust mites.

Aside from resisting odors, a hard surface also makes cleaning easy to do, because it:

• Repels dust
• Blocks dirt
• Resists liquids.

In this day and age, we’ve become more aware of the dirt and germs people track indoors. We do all we can to keep things disinfected and clean. Installing hard-surface flooring is one way to achieve that.
