Painting Interior Spaces

The next time you need to paint a room in your home, consider this:

According to the EPA, indoor air is three times more polluted than outdoor air and is considered to be one of the top 5 hazards to human health. Paints and finishes are among the leading causes.

When shopping for paint, you will see a new label on the paints:
VOC - Volatile Organic Compounds.
Paints and finishes release low level toxic emissions into the air for years after application. The source of these toxins is a variety of VOC's which, until recently, were essential to the performance of the paint.

New environmental regulations, and consumer demand, have led to the development of low-VOC and zero-VOC paints and finishes. Most paint manufacturers now produce one or more non-VOC variety of paint. These new paints are durable, cost-effective and less harmful to human and environmental health.
