The paints made available to you through Eco Design Resources come from a short list of carefully screened manufacturers whose philosophies are consistent with our own. We offer high quality, long lasting, durable paints that do not use unnecessary chemical ingredients that lead to toxic off-gassing. Our competitively priced, non-toxic paints and stains will greatly reduce or eliminate the negative effects that traditional products can have on people and the environment. Becoming educated and deciding for yourself is the first step towards a healthier sustainable future.

Contemporary paints can greatly reduce the indoor air quality of your home or business through a process called off-gassing. Harmful toxins such as formaldehyde, fungicides, ammonia and other VOCs can accumulate in indoor environments posing serious health risks to adults and especially children. These fumes created by synthetic ingredients used in conventional paint products can lead to many health problems such as asthma, allergies skin irritation, headaches and the degradation of your immune system.

Traditional paints and stains also negatively affect the outside world as well as your indoor environment. The manufacturing of synthetic petrochemical paints leads to a host of deleterious effects on our environment. This process created the release of VOCs and aromatic hydrocarbons that react with chlorine in the air which creates smog and other compounds that damage the ozone layer.

The paints that we offer use some of the most highly refined ingredients available, which eliminate the residual toxic chemicals found in typical paints. Our paints avoid using extenders, drying agents, formaldehyde, mildewcides and fungicides. This results in higher quality resin content and therefore a much higher quality paint film than most commercial paints.

We also carry a line of paints, stains and sealers that are based entirely from natural plant extracts. Some of the ingredients that you will find in these products include natural plant dyes and oils, tree resins, waxes, cellulose and other plant fibers. These products often will work better and last longer than traditional products due to their natural bonding abilities with wood and their natural repellents for problems like water and mold. Using these products which are made from entirely renewable resources is a great way to ensure the sustainability of the earth and to promote your health.

You will also find primers, stains and sealers that will seal off harmful fumes from older paint, drywall and particleboard.

We invite you to come down to the showroom to learn more about how these products can improve your personal health and the health of the planet while adding a long-lasting, durable improvement to your home or business.
