Better Paint Choices

Did you think that paint always had to smell that way?  Have you ever come away from a painting project with an irritated throat or a headache?   Trapped inside your house, typical paint products emit, or offgas, toxic fumes called volatile organic compounds (VOCs).  Paint and other products in your home such as carpet and cabinetry will continue to offgas over an extended period of time and can create or aggravate health issues, especially in those with respiratory ailments or impaired immune systems.  No longer just a niche market, most major paint manufacturers now offer more green choices than ever before.  Paints labled Low or No VOC  are non-toxic and mostly fume-free. You can even choose from specialty paints made of 100% natural materials, such as milk and clay. These beautiful and natural finishes are available in a range of colors.
