Choosing interior paint is about more than color; it’s about air quality and safety, especially for children and pets. When wet paint dries, it releases chemicals called Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) into the air. Traditional paints are high in VOCs, which can cause headaches, dizziness, and long-term health concerns. At PaintingMa, we prioritize your family’s health, which is why we specialize in using low- and Zero-VOC products exclusively.

Understanding paint labels can be confusing. Follow these three steps to ensure your next painting project is safe and long-lasting:

1. Look for the “Zero-VOC” Label, Not Just “Low-VOC”

• Zero-VOC is Best: While “Low-VOC” paints are better than traditional high-VOC options, the only way to truly minimize chemicals in your home is to select Zero-VOC products. This label means the product contains virtually no VOCs, reducing the odor and harmful emissions after the paint is applied.
• Colorants Matter: Always check if the colorant used to tint the paint is also Zero-VOC. Some suppliers use high-VOC colorants, defeating the purpose of buying a Zero-VOC base paint.

2. Prioritize Premium, Trusted Brands (Like Benjamin Moore)

• The quality of a non-toxic paint is tied to the brand’s research and formulation. We only work with companies that invest in superior, durable, and clean products.
• Our Preference: At PaintingMa, we recommend and frequently use premium lines from brands like Benjamin Moore because they offer exceptional color depth, durability, and a certified low-chemical profile that meets our standards for a luxury finish.

3. Focus on Durability and Longevity

The durability of a premium Zero-VOC paint means you won’t need to repaint for many years, saving you money and further limiting the introduction of new chemicals into your home later on. This long-term value is a core promise of PaintingMa’s services.
