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!

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month including asbestos education, so this is a good time to raise awareness about preventing unnecessary exposure to asbestos that can cause lung cancer as well as contribute to other possible health concerns.

Short of moving your building or raising it up above flooding, the best approach to take to reduce storm, flooding and natural disaster losses is to simply use a proven coating to wind and waterproofthe surfaces in the path of destruction.

We recently passed the anniversary of 9-11-2001 tragedy of the attack on the Twin Towers in New York. I wanted to remind everyone that the effects of that fateful day are still being felt and especially by some of the heroes that were affected by the initial exposure and then the secondary exposure that took place during the cleanup. Some of those exposed were firefighters, police officers, EMTs (Emergency Medical Technician), construction workers, transit workers, cleanup workers, debris removal crews, truck drivers, nearby office workers, and Lower Manhattan residents.

I discussed in a recent blog the importance of keeping the aesthetics of a historic building intact. Making sure that the look and overall presentation on a structure is preserved is very significant. This is especially true with landmark properties that have prominent and distinct features. Preservation can become very difficult when it entails obsolete building materials that contain hazardous materials that are typically removed and replaced. Three of the most common of hazardous materials is lead-based paint, asbestos and PCBs. In the USA, lead was used in paints up until 1978. It then was banned for its negative health effects, especially with children in their developing stages. PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls, were banned from paints, caulking and surface coatings in 1979 and asbestos was banned in 1974. All these bans were due to the negative health and environmental effects of these products.
