Curious if low- or zero-VOC paint is right for your next project? Let’s talk. We’ll help your Southern Utah home shine—safely and sustainably.

What Are VOCs & Why Do They Matter?

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are chemicals in traditional paints that help them spread smoothly and dry fast. But as paint VOCs evaporate, they release fumes that harm indoor air quality, potentially causing headaches, breathing issues, or worse—especially in enclosed spaces. High VOC levels pose health risks, making low-VOC and no VOC paint smarter choices.

Low-VOC Paints: Cleaner Air, Happier Homes

Low-VOC paints slash volatile organic compounds to under 50 grams per liter (g/L), cutting down harmful emissions compared to standard paints.

Why We Recommend Low-VOC Paints:

• Healthier Indoor Air: Fewer paint VOCs mean cleaner, safer air for your family.

• Less Odor: Milder scents make painting a breeze—no lingering fumes.

• Eco-Friendly: Lower VOC levels reduce your environmental footprint.

Zero-VOC Paints: The Ultimate Green Option

Zero-VOC paints take it up a notch with no VOC or trace amounts, meeting strict standards for safety and sustainability.

Why We Recommend Zero-VOC Paints:

• Superior Air Quality: Perfect for allergy sufferers or kids—zero VOC means no pollution indoors.

• Eco-Conscious: No VOC paint slashes emissions for a greener planet.

• Minimal Odor: Virtually odorless, keeping your home comfy during and after the job.

Things to Consider

Both low-VOC and zero-VOC paints come in a range of finishes and colors, so you can achieve the look you want without compromising on air quality. Here are a few things to consider:

• Performance: Modern formulas match traditional paints—think Greenguard Gold certified options from Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore.

• Cost: Slightly pricier, but the health risks avoided make it worth it.

• Drying Time: Varies by product—we follow guidelines for flawless results.
