Lisa it is funny you suggest that b/c before the carpet was laid in the library ofice, I had tile. When my principal told me they were going to lay down carpet, I did request that I be allowed to keep the tile, but she said it had already been decided when they made the list of renovations, and beyond our control. We even laughed afterwards about how good it looked after I had bemoaned wanting to keep my tile floor. As far as the studio, I complained regularly about the smell–a strong odor of soured milk in my opinion, and my principal said they came over a weekend and ripped up the carpet and laid down new carpet with a different glue. That was in mid November. Remember the studio was released to us Nov. 8. LOL. I’m sure I am costing them a bunch. I think I will go back and beg for tile in both locations…unless they surprise me and do it over the weekend–whatever they plan to do.

New floors and carpets contain many chemicals that can cause reactions. Unfortunately, even the glue and backings can do it, so having them replace with more new stuff might not help. I’d certainly recommend you make them install a HEPA filter at least, though it won’t help with vapors. If you have anything to say about flooring replacement, request plain old linoleum with low-VOC glue.
