The Right Thing. Consider:
There are more than 10,000 chemicals that can be used in conventional paints; many of which are newly created chemical components with little research conducted regarding their long-term effects on both humans and the environment.
BioShield paints are non-toxic, low VOC and 98% naturally derived from plant sources and minerals. And they are not just about paints. BioShield offers a growing line of finishes and colorings from everything to walls to floors to furniture. They offer solvent-free wall paint, clay paints, color washes, cork flooring and wood stains.
I'm so glad to see a plug for this company and low VOC paints in general. I get their catalog and as soon as I get over a general malaise the thought of painting always brings on I am ordering from them, or someone like them.
Thanks, I love resources like this. I've taken to asking for these sorts of eco-options for xmas & my birthday -- it saves me from staring at the bill and dwelling on how much more I could buy if I slid a little and went with the toxic stuff.
was looking for tadellakt like or at least a clay paint sort of finish and bioshield seems to stock it. unfortunately though bioshield doesnt seem to have photos showing the applications and effects of its paints. found paints for the apartment from porters paints
the brochures and website are gorgeous!
