Wood Paint

By utilising water or alternative sustainable materials as a base, wood paints are biodegradable and massively reduce your carbon footprint.

Although, on average, wood paint options may seem more expensive than standard paint. However, eco paints tend to boast superior quality, and are proven to have better colour retention, coverage and viscosity. This means that you’ll have to repurchase eco paint to top it up far less frequently than with chemical-based wood paints.

VOCs are present in a majority of commercial paint brands. These chemicals not only leave behind an unpleasant odour and wafting pollutants that can affect your home’s air quality, but they are also non-recyclable and non-biodegradable. Eco-friendly odourless wood paints have little to no VOCs, producing far less waste and damage.

Wood paint is predominantly manufactured from natural ingredients, such as lemon peel, beeswax and seed oil. During the production process, the paint doesn’t create any harmful emissions, thus negating any negative environmental impact.

The VOCs found in chemical-based wood paints are active for up to five years after initial application. Individuals continually exposed to VOCs are at a higher risk of developing respiratory issues and even lung cancer. Because of their natural properties, wood paints are completely safe for everyone living in your home, including children, the elderly, pregnant women or asthma sufferers.
