It’s a question that comes up more and more.
Especially when someone is painting a baby’s room
or wants to freshen up the house
without that strong paint smell lingering for days.
VOC stands for volatile organic compounds.
They’re chemicals that evaporate into the air as paint dries.
Some are mild.
Some are known to cause irritation.
And when you’re surrounded by them in an enclosed space,
you’ll probably feel it.
Headaches, dizziness, maybe a scratchy throat.
That new paint smell?
That’s VOCs at work.

But today, they’re just as durable and just as rich in color.

no pressure, no guessing.
So, back to the question:
What is low-VOC or zero-VOC paint?
It’s paint that looks great
and leaves your air feeling just as fresh.
