Paints/Stains
Premium grade, durable, low & zero VOC, low odor, natural &
non-toxic ingredients
We offer full paint
tinting services and can match our paint to most conventional
color lines.
Using low or
zero VOC paint in place of conventional wall finishes is one of
the least expensive and most astonishing ways to insure a
healthier indoor environment in your home. Rich and stately
shades suggest formality; dreamy water-colored pastels lend
elegance; fresh colors can perk up the drab and garish walls of
yesterday. We are pleased to offer paints that contain no
unnecessary chemicals and are non-toxic, from a select group of
manufacturers who share our integrity and environmental
philosophy. Let your creativity flourish with our high-quality,
long-lasting, and durable paints. It can make a world of
difference to your home, your health and the environment.
Contemporary
paints can adversely affect the indoor air quality of your home
or business through a process called off-gassing. Harmful toxins
such as formaldehyde, fungicides, ammonia and other Volatile
Organic Compounds (VOCs) can accumulate in indoor environments
posing serious health risks to adults and especially children.
The fumes created by synthetic ingredients used in conventional
paint products are known to contribute to many health problems
such as asthma, allergies, skin irritation, headaches and the
degradation of your immune system.
Traditional
paints and stains can negatively affect both the outside world
and the indoor environment. The manufacturing of synthetic
petrochemical paints leads to a host of deleterious effects on
our environment, contributing to the release of VOCs and
aromatic hydrocarbons that react with chlorine in the air which
creates smog and other compounds that damage the ozone layer.
The paints that
we offer use some of the most highly refined ingredients
available, which eliminate the residual toxic chemicals found in
typical paints. Our paints avoid using extenders, drying agents,
formaldehyde, mildewcides and fungicides. This results in higher
quality resin content and therefore a much higher grade paint
film than most commercial paints.
We also carry a
line of paints, stains and sealers that are based entirely from
natural plant extracts. Some of the ingredients include natural
plant dyes and oils, tree resins, waxes, cellulose and other
plant fibers. These products often will work better and last
longer than traditional products due to their natural bonding
abilities with wood and their natural repellents for problems
like water and mold. You will also find primers, stains and
sealers that will seal off harmful fumes from older paint,
drywall and particleboard. Using these products,
which are made from entirely renewable resources,
is a great way to promote a healthier environment, both indoor
and out.
We invite you
to come down to the showroom to learn more about how these
products can improve your personal health and the health of the
planet while adding a fresh and durable improvement to your home
or business.
