Is Your Interior Carpentry Putting You at Risk for Cancer? Here's What You Need to Know
You love your home, but could it be harming you? It’s possible, especially if the interior carpentry materials in your home contain formaldehyde, a toxic gas that can lead to serious health issues, including cancer.
Formaldehyde is a sneaky colorless, flammable gas that is commonly found in the resins used to manufacture wood products such as hardwood, plywood, and particleboard. These materials are frequently used in the construction of cabinets and other furnishings in homes, making it all too easy for this hazardous chemical to enter the air we breathe.
What’s scary is that at low levels, formaldehyde gas is undetectable by smell. But if the concentration becomes too high, it can cause a host of health problems. Think watery eyes, a burning sensation in the nose or throat, and even breathing difficulties and nausea. Formaldehyde exposure can be particularly dangerous for young children, the elderly, and people with asthma. Long-term exposure can also cause sensitivities to formaldehyde, leading to ongoing health problems.
Worse still, research shows that formaldehyde is linked to nasal cancer in rats, which is raising serious concerns about the impact it could have on human health.
But don’t panic just yet – there are solutions available that can help mitigate the risks associated with formaldehyde exposure. One such solution is Ecoply, a solid plywood distributed by Design4space Pte Ltd that is certified and tested to comply with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) formaldehyde emission standards.

While most Singapore and Malaysia Solid Plywood products on the market have formaldehyde emissions that are 5-10 times higher than WHO standards, Ecoply is rated zero-emission, with a concentration of formaldehyde not exceeding 0.5mg/Lite. That makes Ecoply a safe choice for interior carpentry work in homes and a healthier alternative to other carpentry materials.
In addition to its safety benefits, Ecoply has also been tested and certified with 4 Ticks, the highest specifications awarded by SGS Singapore. This certification ensures that Ecoply is not only safe but also meets the highest quality standards in the industry.
If you’re planning a home renovation or carpentry project, it’s worth considering the health implications of the materials you use. By choosing safe and certified products like Ecoply, you can create a healthier and more sustainable home for you and your family. Talk to Design4space Pte Ltd today to learn more about Ecoply and how it can benefit your home renovation projects.
