The Advantages of Eco-Friendly Paints

We often work with customers who want to do their bit to save the planet, but are worried that eco-friendly paint simply won’t provide the high quality, long lasting results they want. Despite this, eco-friendly paints have a number of benefits compared to traditional chemical paints and provide a safer alternative not only for the planet but your health too. Here are just some of the benefits the range of eco-friendly paints and Avonmouth Paint & Supplies have to offer you.

Little to no environmental impact

The vast majority of eco-friendly paints are water based, and don’t leave any harmful footprints on the environment. The natural ingredients and components in eco-friendly paint also mean its biodegradable.

Significantly fewer or no VOCs

Volatile Organic Compounds are present in pretty much all chemical paint and are produced in great numbers in production and when you apply the paint to your walls. VOCs leaves chemical waste that can’t be recycled and are aren’t biodegradable. Eco friendly paints have little very few or no VOCs in them, causing significantly less damage.

Protect your health

VOCs in chemical paints can last for up to 5 years after you’ve applied the paint and it’s fully dried, and with people 40% more likely to develop lung cancer through constant exposure to VOCs, eco-friendly paint offers a safe and healthy alternative.

Naturally-sourced ingredients

All components and ingredients in eco-friendly paint are naturally sourced from plant extracts and there are no unsafe emissions or toxic ingredients to worry about.

Great painting results

Many eco-friendly paints are widely considered to provide superior results than chemical paints, with better coverage, improved colour retention capability, an optimum viscosity, incredible choice of colours and shades and minimal abrasion.
