Improving Indoor Air Quality when Painting

Paints Designed for Indoor Air Quality
At CertaPro Painters® of Kirkwood, we know that there are harmful chemicals in paints. Indoor air can be 5 times more polluted than the outdoor air. So, what causes paint to be so toxic to our health? The formaldehyde and VOC’s otherwise known as Volatile Organic Compounds. These toxins found in paints can be released for years after the paint job was finished. This creates a problem because we want the best possible air quality for ourselves and our loved ones. So what does this mean? Well for starters, we need to find good quality paint that leaves the air with the least amount of pollution possible. The good news is the “latest generation” of interior paints specifically focuses on indoor air quality. Painting our houses should be a fun and healthy way to create a new look in our spaces. Keep reading to find out some paint options that keep a happy balance between quality paint and health.
