Question from Bonnie Johnson
Someone mentioned Snapstone porcelain floor tiles as being MCS safe. Any word on if they are better than most laminate or vinyl tiles?
Debra’s Answer
I’ve never used this product, but there is a red flag for me.
It’s porcelain tile, which is great, but the grout is made up of sand mixed with polyurethane. The [MSDS]=http://www.snapstone.com/pdfs/SS_flexiblegrout_MSDS.pdf says “This product may cause dizziness, headache, or nausea if used in a poorly ventilated area due to the evaporation of the polyurethane bonding agent as the product dries/cures.”
It may be fine when cured, but I don’t know how long that takes. I wouldn’t say it was safe for someone with MCS to install.
I personally wouldn’t install this in my house. I have a lot of standard tile that I’ve installed myself.
Readers, any experience?
