Awareness/Did You Know?
Thinking of Painting Your Home?
Take a deep breath standing in the middle of your great room, bedroom or any room for that matter, it is a refreshing or followed by a couple of coughs?
Building materials used prior to WW II were predominately made from natural materials. We now live, work and play in what the EPA has called a “chemical soup”. With over 60,000 chemicals now in use, the individual effects of even 10 percent of which are not well understood and the combination of which may never be known. Let me suggest the next time you decide to paint a room try using a low or no VOC (Volatile Organic Chemicals) paint. You can make the most significant improvement on your indoor air quality for your family home by removing the toxins. Low VOC or no VOC paints can be found at all major paint companies and big box stores alike. Available in all colors, even custom, you can have the room of your dreams.
Now take that deep breath and enjoy a job well done!
