Effect & Health
People spend around 90% of the day indoors. The intensity of the effect of the materials used in rooms on people has never been higher.
Anyone who spends so much time indoors pays attention to what surrounds them. That is why healthy building is becoming more important, and choosing low-emission materials is part of it.
On top of that, we live in a globalized world with products of unknown origin and extremely different quality standards in the countries of manufacture. We must therefore be careful what we bring into our homes.
Here we show what is in a mafi floor and what is not: the test report under the AgBB scheme clearly shows that mafi floors are well below all limits.
Sealing vs. open Porosity
Natural, untreated wood harmonizes perfectly with people and shares its healthy properties with us. In this context, naturalness means not sealing the surface of the wood or the pores, but continuing to allow moisture exchange.
The best way to do this is to finish the wood with natural oil that is allowed to air dry. This allows the oil to penetrate deep into the wood, protecting it from the inside out and not forming a plasticized layer on the surface, as is the case with almost all other methods.
And in everyday life? You keep the floor clean with warm water and mafi wood floor soap. One mopping cleans and cares for it at the same time.
