Eco-friendly Paint for Your Home
Posted on June 16, 2020
Painting the interior and exterior of your home can instantly refresh its look and transform the space. When you choose to use eco-friendly paint, you’re not compromising on style. You’re simply creating a healthier environment during and after your painting project. That’s because eco-friendly paint substantially lowers the number of chemicals that enter your home due to paint.
Environmentally Friendly Paint Options
At CertaPro Painters® of Oak Park/Chicago Central, IL, we use eco-friendly paint from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. Each brand has lines of Zero VOC paint that come in three finishes: flat, eggshell, and semi-gloss.
Why use eco-friendly paint?
Zero VOC paint is typically a water-based latex paint that emits fewer harmful VOCs than regular latex paint. They are low odor and can also feature antimicrobial properties which inhibit the growth of mildew, mold, and other bacteria.
Aside from helping those with asthma and allergies, the eco-friendly paints we use maintain their durability and fresh appearance.
You’re not limited to your color choices either! Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore offer eco-friendly options in a variety of colors. So, if you want to hop on the gray trend prevalent in Chicago, you’ll be able to find a Zero VOC version of a light gray meant to brighten your interior or a gray and white combo that is popular on exteriors.
Next time you’re repainting your home, consider using eco-friendly paint. You’ll not only be enhancing the look of your house, but you’ll be improving your quality of life, too!
