Over the past several years we have become more aware of our changing climate. The focus has been on our enviroment. Several measures have been taken on improving our air we breathe,our waters and food chain. As a painter for 27 years I have been introduced to solvent based paints. I have heard stories from senior painters who are retired, and who are feeling the after effects of using theses paints. These long term efects range from lung diseases, to neurological and beyond. In 2009 I decided to promote the use of enviro friendly paints. Toxic paints will be eliminated by the year 2010. When looking for interior paint look for zero voc's even after tinting. Benjamin Moore has a paint called Natura,it is virtually odorless,dries fast with excellent adhesion,great durability, and a great selection of colour. I used this product recently for a lady who was pregnant. She requested a non toxic paint to protect her unborn child. We have to protect our enviroment for our future children.
For taking the time to read my blog here is a decorating tip:
Never put wallpaper in a bathroom. Why? Eventually corners will begin to lift because of the steam from showering.
