The eco-friendly paint market has come a long way in recent years. No longer does “going green” have to mean that you are limited in your paint choice. Brands such as Farrow & Ball and Earthborn have developed eco-friendly paints with an extensive range of colour options.
The Earthborn range offer different paint finishes for different purposes around your home. These include:
Lets take a look at some of the benefits of choosing the eco-friendly option:
VOC or Volatile Organic Compounds are carbon based chemicals compounds that are present in most commercial paint brands. They are considered to be damaging to your health and the environment. Eco-friendly paints with low VOC will cause relatively lesser damage.
VOC remains in paints up to five years after application and even when the paint has dried up completely. As your eco-friendly paint is VOC free, it prevents a variety of infections.
You might find that eco-paints are more expensive initially, however in the long run they can be more cost efficient as generally the quality of eco-paints are superior in their paint coverage, colour retention and abrasion resistant.
Mostly all eco-friendly paints are water based and do not leave harmful footprints. The natural and friendly components in this type of paint are biodegradable having less of a negative impact on the environment.
