Our expert Recommendations For Zero-Voc Paints with when and where to use them

For Commercial and Residential Applications

Traditional paints release Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) – harmful chemicals that off-gas into the air for months or even years after application. Zero-VOC paints contain **virtually none** of these compounds (legally less than 5 grams per liter, often undetectable).

### Key Benefits for You and Your Family###

1. ***Healthier Indoor Air***

   Dramatically reduces headaches, dizziness, respiratory irritation, and allergic reactions – especially important for kids, pregnant women, seniors, asthma sufferers, and pets.

2. Almost No Paint Smell

   You can move back into the room the same day (often within hours) instead of waiting days for fumes to clear.

3. ***Safer For Our Crews***

   Our painters breathe cleaner air on the job, which means happier, healthier teams who can focus on doing their best work.

4. ***Better For The Planet***

   Lower chemical emissions mean less air pollution and a smaller environmental footprint.

5. ***Same Or Better Performance***

   Today’s zero-VOC formulas offer excellent durability, washability, hide, and color retention – they’re not a compromise; they’re an upgrade.

6. ***Helps Earn Green Building Credits***

   Useful for LEED, WELL, or other eco-certifications if you’re remodeling or building. In short: with zero-VOC paint you get gorgeous, long-lasting results **without** sacrificing anyone’s health or comfort. It’s the responsible choice that feels good and looks even better.

| Feature                      | Low-VOC Paint                              | Zero-VOC Paint                              |

| **VOC Level**  | 5–50 grams per liter (depending on brand & sheen) | < 5 g/L (often undetectable, 0–1 g/L)      |

| **Odor**    | Mild paint smell, fades in 24–72 hours    | Almost no odor – you can barely smell it    |

| **Safe to occupy room**      | Usually same day or next day              | Same day, often within 2–4 hours           |

| **Color & sheen availability** | Full range (most brands)  | Full range in top brands (Benjamin Moore Natura, Sherwin-Williams Harmony, PPG Pure Performance, etc.) |

| **Performance (durability, washability, hide)** | Excellent – identical to regular lines    | Excellent – same or better than conventional |

| **Price**                    | Usually $3–$10 more per gallon than regular paint | Usually $5–$15 more per gallon than regular paint |

| **Environmental impact**     | Significantly reduced emissions           | Lowest possible emissions                   |

| **Best for** | Most homes, offices, anyone wanting greener paint without the highest cost | Nurseries, bedrooms, allergy/asthma sufferers, chemically sensitive clients, pet owners, eco-conscious families |

7. ***Our Bottom Line Recommendation***

– Choose **low-VOC** when you want a healthier option at a modest upcharge and no one in the home or office is highly sensitive. 

– Choose **zero-VOC** when anyone in the house or office has asthma, allergies, chemical sensitivities, or when you’re painting a baby’s room, a senior’s bedroom, or simply want the cleanest air possible.

Both are huge improvements over traditional paint, but zero-VOC is the gold standard for health and indoor air quality today.
