Atlanta House Painters, The Painting Penguin, Discuss the Benefits of Low and No VOC Paints

    NORCROSS, GA, July 31, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Atlanta painting company, The Painting Penguin, wants Atlanta homeowners to know why painting your home with low or no VOC paints is highly recommended. Regular paint may seem harmless on the surface, but it actually contains thousands of chemical agents, a number of which can cause many serious health problems when airborne. This is why one of the required tools of the trade is a mask, notes the Atlanta painting contractor. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are far from safe, but they are used in a many homes and buildings throughout the country.

The Atlanta painters say that while the VOC dispersal rate is very low after the first year, they are extremely high when the paint is being applied. This is especially the case for interior applications, as it is not uncommon for VOC levels to be much higher than when the paint is applied to the outside of a structure. Thus, the Atlanta painting company stresses using a low or no VOC paint type. According to Stephen Popov, Managing Partner of the Painting Penguin, "As an Atlanta house painter, I know how dangerous VOCs can be. The EPA has regulations in place to limit the number of these chemicals, but the risk of developing health problems such as cancer and liver disease is still high when regular paints are being used. With low and no VOC paints, this risk is lessened considerably, both in the short and long term." It may cost a little more to buy these products, but no price is too high when it comes to protecting your health, and there are many options now that are the same basic price as traditional paints.
