4. Upholding Health and Well-being
At Marano, your safety and well-being are paramount. We understand the potential health hazards posed by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde emissions, which is why we meticulously select materials and finishes that adhere to stringent standards. From low VOC or zero VOC finishings to premium plywood and High Density Fibreboard (HDF) with an ‘E0’ rating for minimal formaldehyde emissions, our furniture not only enhances your living space but also ensures a healthier indoor environment for you and your loved ones.
What does this mean to you? Furniture made with E0 grade materials and the highest environmental protection grade finishes ensures minimal formaldehyde emissions, providing a healthier living environment for you and your family. The World Health Organization (WHO) has established guidelines for indoor air quality that include formaldehyde due to its known health hazards. Formaldehyde is classified as a human carcinogen, and exposure to high levels can cause various health issues, particularly respiratory problems, and irritation of the skin, eyes, nose, and throat. It can exacerbate asthma symptoms, especially in sensitive groups such as children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing health conditions.
In essence, Marano isn’t just a furniture brand; it’s a lifestyle choice—a commitment to luxury living without compromising our planet’s future as well as better and ‘healthier’ choices for you and your family’s well-being. As you decorate your home with Marano’s exquisite creations, you not only enhance your living space but also contribute to a greener, more sustainable world.
