Ever walked into a freshly painted room and felt a slight tickle in your throat or a burning sensation in your eyes? You're not alone. These can be signs of exposure to Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) present in the paint or, more surprisingly, in the wall putty beneath.
VOCs are organic chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature. They're found in a variety of household products, including paints, sealants, and yes, even wall putty. While some VOCs have a faint odour, others are virtually undetectable. But don't let their invisibility fool you - exposure to VOCs can have a number of health concerns, including:
Long-term exposure to high levels of VOCs has even been linked to certain cancers.
Since wall putty forms the base layer for your paint, it plays a significant role in indoor air quality. Traditional wall putties often contain high levels of VOCs, which can slowly release into your home's atmosphere for months, even years after application. This can be particularly harmful in poorly ventilated spaces, where VOC concentrations can build up and pose health risks, especially for children and individuals with respiratory issues.
The good news is that you don't have to compromise on a beautiful finish for the sake of healthy air. There are VOC-free wall putties available that offer all the benefits of traditional putties without harmful chemicals.
When it comes to creating a beautiful and healthy living space, the foundation you choose matters. Choosing a VOC-free wall putty isn't just about creating a healthy living environment for you and your family; it's also a responsible choice for the planet. VOCs contribute to smog formation, impacting air quality outdoors.
