Understanding Green-Friendly Paint From Benjamin Moore
Environmental consciousness is more that a catch-phrase and Green-Friendly is not just a buzzword. Industries are looking for ways to produce sustainable products that are high performance and kinder to the environment. In the paint industry, this translates to both outdoor and indoor air quality. We all want the air in our homes and businesses to as free of chemicals and pollutants as possible. Many readers will remember when lead paint was taken off the market, but today it is not enough for paint to be lead-free.
In 2007 Warrenville Paint and Hardware introduced Aura, Benjamin Moore's low-VOC paint. VOC is an acronym for Volatile Organic Compounds which are bad for for the environment. Do-It-Yourselfers and paint contractors alike have found Aura to be truly revolutionary in many ways including ease of application and superior coverage. This year Warrenville Paint and Hardware is proud to offer additional low VOC and zero-VOC new products from Benjamin Moore, all carrying the Green Promise designation. Green Promise is Benajmain Moore's assurance that these products meet or exceeds EPA requirements as well as the many industry watchdog requirements for VOCs.
