Tile Grout Safety: What Parents and Pet Owners Need to Know

VMPL
New Delhi [India], September 27: Ayesha and her family decided to move out of their rented flat and into their newly constructed home. She finally felt ready to start a new chapter; one where everything was tailor-made to her lifestyle. With two toddlers and a beagle, she was hyper-conscious about their safety.
The flooring work had begun, and she was discussing tile finishes with her contractor. She wondered if the construction materials were safe for her kids and pet. The dust, the chemical smell, and the harsh materials must be home friendly. Especially when it came to things like tile grout and tile adhesive that stayed inside the home for years.
Why Grout Needs a Second Thought?
Most people assume that grout is just a filler between tiles, but it does more than just seal gaps. It comes in close contact with air and moisture in kitchens, bathrooms, and living rooms. In homes with small children and pets who crawl, walk, sniff and touch everything, the construction materials used matter a lot.
Many conventional grouts and adhesives for tile contain Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). These chemical substances that are released into the air over time can cause breathing issues, irritation, and allergic reactions. Childresystemsts, with their sensitive immune systems, are most at risk. Therefore, when you are installing tiles with grout indoors, especially in living zones or play areas, it is important to choose products that are low-VOC and non-toxic.
