Are you tired of the toxic fumes and harmful emissions during a project and lingering odors after you have coated a surface?
I know I was and In this blog I’ll tell you my choice to switch to a cleaner option.
30 years ago I stared using water-based, green coatings on all my projects and never looked back.
Let’s take a look at making a splash in the world of environmentally conscious choices.
Discover the transformative power of water-based products and coatings – the key to reducing air pollution, minimizing water contamination, and creating a cleaner, greener future.
1. Clearing the Air: A Breath of Fresh, VOC-Free Coatings
Bid farewell to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and their detrimental effects on your health and the environment.
Water-based paints boast significantly lower VOC levels, emitting fewer harmful substances into the air during the drying process.
The evaporation of solvents from oil-based coatings and high VOC’s can be uncomfortable for workers and building occupants or even flat out hazardous to their health.
For this reason, many projects make use of water-based coatings. These also reduce the concentration of flammable materials that build up in a confined space.
Take a deep breath and enjoy a painting experience that puts your well-being first with water-based products.
2. Green Revolution: Protecting Our Water Sources
Water pollution is a growing concern, but with water-based coatings, you can be part of the solution.
These eco-friendly paints are less likely to contaminate water sources, reducing the risk of water pollution.
Join the movement towards sustainability and preserve our precious waterways for future generations.
3. Beyond Beauty: The Practical Advantages of Water-Based Paints
It's not just about being environmentally friendly – water-based paints offer practical benefits too.
Discover how these wonders make repainting a breeze, allowing for more frequent applications within state regulations.
With proper preparation and quality controls, they stand toe-to-toe and even surpass previous oil-based systems in rust prevention.
Also, they easily protect surfaces with 20 year, renewable life cycles.
This includes roofing which takes the most overall abuse from extreme weather and harsh attack from the elements.
Eliminating the need for costly tear off, removal and disposal.
4. Easy Cleanup, Big Impact: The Sustainable Choice
Picture this: easy cleanup that doesn't harm the environment.
Water-based coatings, with water as their main ingredient, provide a sustainable and eco-friendly choice.
Cleaning up brushes and equipment is safe and easy unlike harsh solvent based coatings that need other solvent based products to clean equipment, then leave behind toxic cleaning fluid that needs proper disposal.
Say goodbye to harsh chemicals and embrace a water-based painting solution that not only transforms your space but also contributes to a cleaner planet.
In a world where every choice matters, make a splash with water-based wonders – revolutionize your painting experience while safeguarding the environment.
It's time to paint a brighter, greener future!

The first time I heard about Earth Day was when I was in the eighth grade and my well admired and clever science teacher opened up a discussion on the cons of earth day stating it was some sort of liberal nonsense and a hoax. This agitated most of the class.

I think we all agree that it’s so important to minimize the spread of germs. That is one of the most significant and preventative measures we can take.

Do You Know Why the Right Protective Green Coating Resembles our Largest Organ? The right protective coating can protect all parts of a building just like the skin protects all parts of a body. Both are the first line of defense and without them both our bodies and buildings would be naked eventually causing a complete breakdown. Our largest organ, the skin on the outside of our bodies protects our muscles, organs, bones and brain from infections, sunlight, temperature extremes and other threats. The same is true with the right coating that covers the outside of a building protecting occupants and the structure itself. It prevents the deterioration of interior building components such as heating and cooling apparatus, plumbing, electric and furnishings.

The true cost of a paint or coating is not just the price per gallon/liter. There are direct and indirect costs to consider.

As I travel and work internationally, I encounter different aspects and opinions on asbestos. It has a long background of use in all types of situations and still widely used in building materials. To date, it is still mined and incorporated into many products in several countries. It is controversial at best. My goal is always to try and enlighten and not frighten about some of its uses and misconceptions. The fact is that as much as it is opposed and even outlawed in some parts of the world, it is still mined, exported and used in many others.

As I’ve studied the issues of what building components are the main culprits of polluting our environment of both soil and water along with generating the most waste, I’ve found that roofing can be a leading offender. This also includes air pollution if the roofing contains asbestos. Asbestos is a large content of many roofs and wall surfaces worldwide and its microscopic fibers are continually released into the environment as it breaks down.

As I travel internationally and educate many on how to simply deal with solid hazardous materials and safely contain them with green coatings I’m always amazed how differently countries look at situations with building products and how to handle them.

Asbestos – The three options when addressing asbestos in building materials are: first, full blown removal; second, do nothing and leave it alone; and the third, in-place management.
