In the world of sustainable interior design, WELL certification plays a crucial role. This certification focuses not only on environmentally conscious aspects but also on promoting healthy indoor spaces that have a positive impact on the well-being of users.
In this blog, we take a closer look at WELL certification. We discuss exactly what it entails, who benefits from it, and the role interior elements play. We also share how TREU interior specials is committed to sustainable well-being.
WELL certification in brief
WELL is a quality mark that focuses on the well-being of a building’s users. It encompasses seven main categories: air and water quality, lighting, nutrition, movement, and mental well-being.
A building qualifies for WELL certification when it meets specific guidelines regarding health and well-being. Companies must meet the established standards in each of the mentioned categories to achieve the WELL certificate.
Who, what, where?
- Who? WELL is of value to various parties in the construction world, such as architects, interior designers, property developers, property managers, and building owners. It serves as a valuable guide for designing eco-friendly and healthy spaces;
- What? Interior elements play a key role in achieving a WELL certificate. The choice of materials, production processes, lifespan, and environmental impact of products, such as flooring, furniture, and lighting, form the core of this certification;
- Where? Although WELL is not yet as widespread as the well-known LEED certification, interest has grown rapidly in recent years. This applies to urban areas, especially where sustainability and health are high on the agenda. WELL certification is not only relevant in the Netherlands but also worldwide, particularly for companies and organizations with an international presence. Think of sectors such as real estate development, hotels, educational institutions, and healthcare.
TREU interior specials’ commitment to sustainable well-being
TREU interior specials helps interior professionals realize custom-made interior products, such as carpets and wallpaper. At TREU, we understand that every detail contributes to the well-being of the users.
Floors play an important role in achieving WELL certification, as they have a significant influence on factors such as air quality, acoustics, comfort, and user well-being. Our commitment therefore goes beyond mere product selection. As the exclusive representative of Halbmond in the Netherlands, we choose carpets that are not only visually appealing but also produced according to strict sustainability standards. In doing so, we consider local production, the use of 100% recycled waste materials, and materials with reduced emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). We also offer high-quality acoustic solutions with our Halbmond carpet that contribute to a healthy and sustainable living environment.
