IS MICROSEMENT SAFE FOR ALLERGY SUFFERERS?
Microcement floors not only look impressive and are easy to install. They are also an excellent solution for homes where people suffer from asthma or allergies. To find out why, keep reading.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways, characterized by episodes of wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. In Poland, as many as 4 million people experience asthma symptoms, but only slightly less than 2 million of them are aware that they suffer from this disease. Additionally, another 12 million people struggle with allergies, which can manifest as atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma, or allergic rhinitis.
WHAT IS ALLERGY?
The mechanism of allergy involves the body's hypersensitivity to proteins, called allergens, which are harmless to most people and present in the environment. Common allergens include house dust mites, plant pollen, grass, and mold spores. Various chemical compounds found in cleaning products, such as chlorine, ammonia, and benzene, can also act as allergens.
Given the lack of a universal cure for allergies, the key to managing symptoms is to avoid contact with triggers and irritating substances, as well as to use symptom-relieving medications. Carpets can accumulate dangerous pathogens, while wooden floors can crack and create crevices that collect dirt and microorganisms. In both these cases, maintaining adequate cleanliness can be difficult. In contrast, microcement floors are seamless, uniform, and additionally moisture-resistant thanks to special protective lacquers.
WHY CHOOSE MICROSEMENT?
Quarelli microcement, as a finishing material, can be beneficial for people with asthma and allergies.
Why?
Because microcement is a smooth surface that does not accumulate large amounts of dust or allergens. Unlike traditional carpets or wallpapers, which can act as allergen traps, microcement is easy to keep clean and allows for regular removal of potential irritating particles.
In summary, microcement is generally considered relatively safe for allergy sufferers due to its smooth surface and ability to minimize allergen accumulation.
