The winter months are a great time to tackle some of your indoor home projects, including any interior painting you plan to do. There are many benefits to painting during colder months, such as availability, pricing, drying times, and being ready for what the rest of the year brings. A common worry, though, is if you will either need to keep your windows and doors open to air out your home from the paint fumes, or potentially breathe in the harmful fumes because it’s too cold to do so. With U.S. Pro Painters, this isn’t a concern! We use zero VOC paint on all of our projects to ensure it isn’t polluting your home and is safe for your family and your pets.
What are VOCs?
VOC stands for volatile organic compounds, which are carbon-containing compounds emitted as gasses into the air. VOCs can be potentially harmful for your health as they can irritate the eyes, nose and throat, can cause difficulty breathing and nausea, and can damage the central nervous system and other organs. Not only are they harmful to your health, but they can be bad for the environment as well. VOCs can be found indoors in home and personal care products such as cleaners and disinfectants, air fresheners, cosmetics and deodorants, along with some building materials such as paints, varnishes, caulks and sealants, and adhesives.
Our team of professional painters do our part to ensure the paint in your home is free of VOCs so you and your family don’t have to worry about these hazardous fumes.
Benefits of Using Zero VOC Paint
First and foremost, we want to keep your home and your family as safe as possible as we take on your interior paint project, and the paint we use helps us do just that. Zero VOC paint is better for the air quality in your home and utilizing it can help reduce allergens or irritants in the air, preventing more severe health issues.
Aside from being the safest option, there are a couple of added benefits to utilizing this type of paint. Because we use zero VOC paint, we are able to paint indoors during the cold winter months. This means your projects don’t have to be put on hold until spring or summer – you can save those months for tackling your outdoor projects. And because the paint we use isn’t emitting harmful gasses into the air, you don’t need to freeze yourself out by keeping the windows open while we paint. They also have a much more subtle odor, so it will be easier to live in as your project is being completed.
Zero VOC paint is also less harmful to the environment and is a much more sustainable option than traditional paints. It’s important to us to do our part in minimizing the harmful effects our services could have on the environment, and this is one way we can do so.
