I am painting my house. Should I worry about paint smells or off gassing? Is it toxic for my baby or for a pregnant wife?
These are common and very real concerns. Traditional paints used to have high levels of VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, that released strong odors and chemicals into the air. Over time, laws and better products have lowered those levels, but not every paint is the same.
If you are expecting a baby, already have children at home, or just want healthier indoor air, you can request low-VOC or zero-VOC paint. These products perform well, look great, and release little to no harmful off gassing.
For the best air quality, you can even choose lime-based mineral paints. Products like Romabio naturally bond to the surface and contain no synthetic chemicals. They soak into brick or masonry, will not peel, and actually help maintain cleaner indoor air.
At Jose’s Painting we work with families to make sure the paint used in your home is both safe and durable. Whether you need low-VOC, zero-VOC, or lime-based options, we can recommend the right solution for your project.
