(NC)—Painting, inarguably, is the most economic home makeover. And for any pet-populated household where the roller and brush are being readied to hit the walls, you may want to take pause for the paws and make sure the paint being used is a smart choice for your pet as well as for all of your family. Going green—eco-friendly—in your selection will help assure the safest solution. When it comes to paint, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are no-nos. Without getting too scientific, VOCs are groups of chemicals often found in conventional paints and other building and decorating materials. Exposure to them can pose health risks. So, a zero-VOC interior paint, like Benjamin Moore's new Natura, is an ideal choice, especially since it remains at zero-VOC even with the addition of the colourants needed to tint it the deepest, most saturated of hues.
Natura enjoys a checklist of other advantages. It is virtually odourless, dries fast, has excellent adhesion and provides a durable finish. What's more, while Natura is sustainable “green,” the colour green is just but one of more than 1,800 colour choices available, plus it can be custom colour-matched to personal specifications.
For any of the millions who open their hearts and homes to pets—Canada's pet dog population is estimated to be at about 2 million, and the cat count at about 2.3 million—it's reassuring to know there are ways to make their living space a safer, and even more colourful, environment.
