How much traffic are you getting in your business or office? We all know that we\u2019re supposed to be washing our hands regularly and wiping down our surfaces\u2026 but what about the biggest surface in your location? Your walls.<\/p>\n

Obviously, we can\u2019t wash down our walls with disinfectant spray as often as we\u2019d like without risking the integrity of the paint itself. If you\u2019re looking to keep your employees and customers as safe as possible (while also benefiting from a pleasant upgrade to your commercial or residential space) check out these innovative paint options.<\/p>\n

Germ Killing Paint<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paint can do it all. Including kill the Corona Virus! While this technology isn\u2019t available to the public just yet, paint companies have made great strides in creating coatings that eliminate germs and bacteria. If you\u2019re painting a bathroom, dealing with kiddos, or trying to update any high traffic space, consider this product to keep things germ free.<\/p>\n

Low VOC Paint<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to California caring about the environment, we can all benefit from lower VOC paint! VOCs (or Volatile Organic Compounds) are similar to fumes and can wreak serious havoc for those who are susceptible to breathing disorders. Most paint companies offer low VOC options so be sure to ask about it at your paint estimate!<\/p>\n

IMPORTANT TIP:
\nSome paints claim low VOC but then have high-odor colorants! The higher-end product lines from Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore both have low VOC paint and low VOC tinting compounds.<\/p>\n

Odor Eating Paint<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another interesting technological advancement is odor eating paint. The paint literally eliminates bad odors year over year. This product is effective for about 5 to 6 years and then the properties dissipate. If you\u2019ve got a problem bathroom, a gym, a kitchen, or anywhere that smells, you can use this creative solution to help combat the stink!<\/p>\n

Washable Paint<\/strong><\/p>\n

And finally, we\u2019ve made great chemical advancements in the washability and scuff resistance in the paint. You can now get a truly washable flat paint from Sherwin-Williams in the Emerald line. We LOVE to do the butter test for customers. We are able to demonstrate how a tablespoon of butter rubbed on the wall wipes right off! This flat sheen paint is truly amazing and the useful applications in your business are truly endless.<\/p>\n

No matter what your challenges, if you\u2019re trying to be conscientious of your employees and customers, there\u2019s an advancement in paint technology that can help you create your desired outcome.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk about your problem areas and what creative solutions we can take to make your commercial space healthier. Book your appointment now!<\/h2>\n
