Ceramic tile

This is hard surface is one of the most hypoallergenic of all flooring possibilities. In fact, ceramic flooring is the number one choice of those who suffer from allergies. The hard, slick surface provided by ceramic tile reduces its ability to collect dust, mold, or other allergens. The biggest drawback to this form of flooring is that it can be cold and uncomfortable against bare feet which may restrict its use to certain rooms. Glass tiles are also available but these tend to be more expensive than its ceramic counterparts.

Cork

Cork flooring is another environmentally friendly source of flooring for allergy sufferers. Cork's surface characteristics prevent dust absorption which can precipitate allergy symptoms. Plus, cork is quite durable and comfortable against bare feet. In addition, it doesn't contain toxic substances found in some flooring and carpeting, making it an ideal choice for allergy sufferers who are health and environmentally conscious.

Linoleum

Linoleum flooring provides another smooth surface which doesn't promote accumulation of dust or allergens. If you suffer from allergies and plan to install linoleum flooring, use a low-VOC glue to attach the flooring. Otherwise, you could suffer from an allergic reaction to the adhesive.

Wood

Wood flooring provides a smooth surface that doesn't harbor dust or other allergens, although some wood flooring is manufactured by using volatile organic compounds which can aggravate allergies and potentially have longer term toxicity. This is particularly common with use of laminate flooring. For this reason, you should research wood flooring products carefully before choosing wood floors for your home.
