Why Low- & Zero-VOC Paints are Ideal for Home Painting Projects

A Quick Overview of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

Many paints contain Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which can be harmful to your health and the environment. These VOCs enter the atmosphere through a process called off-gassing, which can cause eye, nose, and throat irritation. These compounds also have a strong odor that can cause headaches, nausea, dizziness, and allergic skin reactions. Fortunately, you can help protect yourself from these dangerous chemicals without sacrificing quality by using low-VOC or zero-VOC paints.

Are you planning on repainting your home? Consider hiring a painting company committed to using Low-VOC or Zero-VOC paint. At Five Star Painting of N. Kansas City, MO, we believe in sustainable painting practices that focus on keeping the environment in mind. Our eco-friendly painting services emphasize the use of low-VOC or zero-VOC paint products. Today, we’ll discuss why we offer and recommend zero-VOC paints to all our customers.

Low-VOC & Zero-VOC Are Better for the Environment

The most obvious benefit of using low-VOC or zero-VOC paint is that it is better for the environment than traditional paints. When VOCs release through off-gassing, they pollute the air and the environment, harming plants and animals. Low-VOC and zero-VOC paints don’t contain these harmful chemicals, so they won’t release them into the atmosphere when they dry. By reducing the concentration of contaminants in the ozone layer, groundwater, and landfills, zero-VOC paints contribute to a healthy ecosystem.

Low-VOC painting products will also help you and your family avoid adverse health effects associated with volatile organic compounds. With our eco-friendly alternatives, you won’t have to worry about breathing dangerous fumes that can cause a slew of undesirable health symptoms. Low-VOC paints produce fewer allergy-causing toxins than regular paint, meaning you won’t suffer from asthma attacks and sinus issues due to exposure.

Low-VOC & Zero-VOC Paints Are High-Quality

In addition to being safer for your health and for the environment, low-VOC and zero-VOC paints also produce a high-quality finish. Because these paints contain fewer fillers than traditional paints, they suffer from less pigment settling over time. Pigment settling can lead to paint separation, excess sediment, and uneven consistencies. As a result, zero-VOC paints are generally easier to apply with less splattering and dripping than regular paints and often require fewer coats to create a smooth final finish, saving you time and money!

Low-VOC and zero-VOC paint products perform well aesthetically. Our painters prefer zero-VOC paints due to their:

• Consistent, clean, flawless coverage
• Ease of cleaning with soap and water
• Fast drying properties
• Non-yellowing qualities

Low-VOC paints naturally emit less odor. Since the minimal paint smell does not linger long after application, you can return to enjoying your home or office space without worrying about fumes upsetting your sensory or nervous system.

Low-VOC & Zero-VOC Paints Can Save You Time & Money

Low-VOC paints tend to cost less than traditional latex or oil-based varieties. As a result, you can save money while still getting great results! Plus, since low-VOC paints dry quickly, we can achieve greater coverage in less time and with fewer gallons of pain, saving you even more time and money!

Low-VOC & Zero-VOC Paints Are Ideal for Maintaining Indoor Air Quality

Finally, using low-VOC or zero-VOC paint will help you maintain healthy indoor air quality inside your home. This is because zero-VOC paint products do not contain toxic chemicals, allowing you to enjoy clean air without worrying about any negative impacts on your health and safety. On the contrary, traditional paints release harmful fumes for weeks after application.
