Over the past one year, many people across the world have been forced to remain at home, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the second wave spreading across India, it appears that there is a long way to go, before the Coronavirus pandemic is eradicated. In a bid to reduce the snowballing infection rate and break the chain, the central and state governments have advised people to stay at home unless essential, while continuing with the vaccination drive. Thus, work from home and schooling from home will continue to remain the norm for many, going forward.<\/p>\n
With this kind of set up expected to continue, reports suggest that \u2018home improvement\u2019 is where people are spending the most currently, so that they can enjoy comfortable, safe and luxurious living. Mentioned in this article is how you can use home d\u00e9cor to further protect yourself from the Coronavirus infection.<\/p>\n
The pandemic and subsequent lockdowns have reshaped how we perceive homes. \u201cThe time spent at home has increased drastically over the last year, as our place of shelter has doubled-up as a fitness space, workplace, school, entertainment zone and shared living space. As a result, consumers are now looking for home solutions that can ensure a safer, healthier and more hygienic environment, by eliminating contagion such as germs and bacteria. Floor surfaces are exposed to considerable foot traffic and are among the most likely places to become breeding grounds for such vectors,\u201d points out Mahesh Shah, CEO \u2013 domestic business, Welspun Flooring.<\/p>\n
Home flooring and tiles are prone to hosting a variety of microorganisms, bacteria and viruses. To minimise the exposure to viruses and germs, we use multiple disinfectants for cleaning floor surfaces. What can also help, are the new antiviral range of flooring solutions. A host of renowned flooring solution companies are offering such products, which preemptively stop the virus build-up, once it comes in contact with the floor surface.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt Welspun Flooring, we have seen a significant rise in the demand for the brand\u2019s Healthy Tiles range, which includes grout-free tiles and tiles with anti-microbial properties that offer customers with better protection to safeguard their environment by keeping them hygienic,\u201d adds Shah.<\/p>\n
These solutions are available in an array of colours, designs, anti-skid features, etc., to match your d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n
