Painting with eco friendly paints. Sarson Building Services - High Quality Builders in Chichester, Selsey and Arundel.
Eco friendly painting Paint by definition is not eco friendly. It is not a natural product found in the environment. However there are some paint companies who are trying to create paints that are less harmful to us and the environment. Different paint companies will tell you different things about what eco friendly means to them.
Look at these areas to gauge how eco friendly your paint is:
Ingredients – Eco friendly paint should list its ingredients by displaying them directly on the paint pots or making them available upon request from the paint company.
Manufacturing – The way something is manufactured has an environmental impact so consider a paint company’s carbon footprint when deciding how eco friendly they actually are.
Breathability – Traditional paints that contain plastic create a plastic barrier on walls when applied trapping air leading to mould and other problems. Eco friendly paints should be breathable as a result of using only natural ingredients.
