The benefits of TATAMI
The benefits of tatami - Tatami mats are reported to help clean the air in the room because the Tatami absorbs nitrogen dioxide. It is also hydroscopic (absorbs moisture) when there is high humidity and discharges this when the air is dry. It is also a good insulator and helps keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. To create a custom room, you may fill open areas with finished wooden borders around the tatami. Tatami borders can also impart a sense of direction. Cutting tatami is not recommended. Please contact a local contractor or interior designer for custom installation and design advice if needed. If you are using the mats as bedding, you will need two mats to make a queen size bed. |
