Going GREEN
We understand the concerns about protecting the earth's environment. If you'd like your painting project to be more environmentally friendly, we have a solution. We offer the option of using “green” paints (which, of course, come in any color!). "Green" paints contain fewer chemicals, making them better both for the environment and for your family - proof that you can enjoy a beautiful room while still respecting nature's beauty.
For clients looking to "go green", we recommend Benjamin Moore’s “Natura”. Natura is no VOC and is virtually odorless. The manufacturing process for Natura is eco-friendly. The cans, labels, advertising brochures are all made from recycled materials. All Natura paint is manufactured within 300 miles of retail stores to cut down on emissions from transporting.
We also often utilize Benjamin Moore's “Aura”, “Ben”, and “Eco-Spec” paints, which are low VOC.
Sherwin Williams' Duration Home is the specially formulated to be low in odor, resist mildew and have lower levels of smog-producing pollutants (volatile organic compunds or VOC's). Most stains wipe clean with mild soap and water, so no harsh cleaning chemicals are needed for clean-up. The durable formula reduces frequent repaints - providing the ultimate in beauty and washability. Harmony is a natural choice for environmentally preferred interior paint. It is low-odor allowing you to immediately move into your newly painted spaces. It contains less solvents and zero-VOC's so what is emitted into the air is more environmentally friendly.
"Duration Home" and "Harmony" carry the GreenSure logo designation and both have earned the Good Housekeeping Seal. Quality paints that meet and exceed "green" standards.
California has taken environmentally preferred paint to the next level with the introduction of "ELEMENTS" zero VOC finishes, a "green" paint that does not compromise quality or performance. ELEMENTS Zero VOC interior paint line includes a primer, ceiling white, flat finish, eggshell finish and semi-gloss finish. All of the ELEMENTS finishes are Zero VOC, GreenWise certified and LEED compliant but they also last longer than ordinary low VOC paints saving resources and time in the long term. ELEMENTS is the first Zero VOC paint line to contain Microban technology. ELEMENTS is the natural choice for conscientious homeowners and is the ultimate in safety and protection for daycare centers, hospitals and schools.
