You may or may not be familiar with eco-friendly paint. And if you’re unsure if eco-friendly paint should be at the top of your home renovation shopping list, then you’ve come to the right place.
Here we’ll be answering:

What is eco-friendly paint?
Many interior and exterior paints are made from harmful chemicals, that leave intoxicating fumes dispersing through your home every time you decide to decorate: as well as dangerous particles lingering in the air long after you’ve painted.
When working with paints filled with these harsh chemicals, you’ll likely find yourself painting with all the doors and windows open for maximum ventilation, which isn’t so practical when working in the milder UK climate.
The natural materials used to make eco-friendly paints often means they’re free from toxic chemicals, making them either low in or void of any ‘paint-like’ fumes. That’s why so many people, including our painting and decorating team, love working with eco-friendly paints.
Eco-friendly paints that are zero VOC (volatile organic chemicals), such as the Tikkurila eco-friendly paint range, are an ideal option if you want to be working in an odourless environment.
Why you should be using eco-friendly paint
Not only are eco-friendly paints healthier for those working with these products – especially on a day-to-day basis – but they’re also better for the environment.
Made from a range of natural materials, such as milk and clay, eco-friendly paints can be disposed of more easily than more dangerous, traditional paint products that are filled with man-made chemicals and materials.
Thanks to paint production innovation over the past decade or so, there are an increasing number of eco-friendly paints being brought to the market each year that are as high quality and durable as traditional more toxic paints.
So while eco-friendly paints may be made from non-traditional materials more suited to the natural world than on the shelves of your local hardware store, you can rest assured that eco-friendly paints are as hardwearing and high performing as more traditional paint products.
