Bio Paints

Indoor air is three times more polluted than outdoor air

According to the EPA the low level toxic emissions released from indoor paint and finishes is considered to be one of the top 5 hazards to human health.

Low level toxic emissions are released into the air for years after application. The source of these toxins is a variety of VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds) which, until recently, were essential to the performance of the paint.

New environmental regulations, and consumer demand, have led to the development of low-VOC and zero-VOC paints and finishes. Most paint manufacturers now produce one or more non-VOC variety of paint.

These new paints are durable, cost-effective and less harmful to human and environmental health.
