The Toxic Secret Behind The "New Home" Smell

Let's talk about that “new home smell”.

We've all been there. You get new furniture or finish a renovation, and you take a big whiff of that fresh, clean, woody scent. It smells new, fresh, almost like new paint?

Well, here's the uncomfortable truth: That distinctive smell is often Formaldehyde off-gassing into your air. It's a chemical used in the glue of most standard plywood.

The Hidden Danger in Your Walls

This isn't just about a strong smell; it's about health. Formaldehyde is classified as a human carcinogen, and breathing it in, especially over the years it continues to be released, can cause anything from irritated eyes and scratchy throats to serious respiratory issues and asthma flares. If you have kids or elderly parents at home, do not take matters lightly. It’s a long-term effect that kills you silently.

We at Humblewood thought: Why should you have to choose between a beautiful, sustainable home and clean, safe air?

Our Humblewood Promise: Clean Air, Better Health

That’s why we’re all about E0 plywood. E0 is the highest standard for low formaldehyde emissions, but we didn't stop there. We engineered our plywood to a level that is simply unmatched, guaranteeing a concentration that does not exceed 0.08 mg/L.

To keep it simple: We're not just meeting the safe level; we're giving you a product that is cleaner than what you'd typically find.
