Low VOC to Zero VOC Quality paints in Toronto.

As a result of the "green living" movement, Low or Zero VOC paints are becoming more mainstream in Canada and the rest of the world. If you're gearing up to paint your baby's nursery, here's what you should know about these new paint alternatives like Verda Paints.



Traditional Paints 


If you've ever painted a room in the past with traditional paint nont a Zero Voc Paint, you probably had to open the windows because of the strong odor. Traditional paints contain volatile organic compounds also known as VOCs. VOCs are comprised of a variety of chemicals that can adversely affect your health. In fact, according to The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), VOCs can trigger eye, nose and throat irritations, headaches, nausea, and a loss of coordination. Significant exposure may even lead to problems with the kidney, liver and central nervous system.
Many people mistakenly believe that once their paint is dry and the smell is gone, the chemicals are too. However VOCs tend to concentrate indoors and may persist in the air long after painting is finished. To decrease this risk, consider choosing a non toxic paint for the nursery and other rooms in your home as well. There are many benefits to using non toxic paints From Verda Paints including:
  • Easier clean-up with soap and water
  • Easier disposal options
  • Less odor during application and usually no odor once the paint is dry
  • A shorter waiting period to safely occupy the room
  • Significant reduction in toxins released into the air

      
Non toxic or Natural Paints By  Verda paints


These paints are produced by a variety of manufacturers and come in several options. Many of the paints are now available at mainstream home improvement stores as well as at local specialty paintstores. As with many eco-friendly products, there are no official federal guidelines regarding labeling, so VOC standards may vary by manufacturer. Consult the paint labels or ask your in-store paint specialist for clarification if you have questions. You can also look for paints that have Green Seal certification
