  # Epoxy Painting
  Applying an epoxy floor coating to concrete floors can drastically improve the appearance of an otherwise dull space. Epoxy comes in a variety of colors and designs and can be applied in residential and commercial buildings. These coatings bond with the surface of the concrete to create a durable, slip-resistant finish that’s much easier to maintain.

# Pros And Cons Of Chalkboard Paint
  /    /  Pros And Cons Of Chalkboard Paint
Choosing an  color and type comes with many options. Many paints could work well for your home, but there may be a few that meet your unique needs perfectly. Chalkboard paint is a unique option that many homeowners overlook because it may feel more juvenile or useless than traditional paint.
Chalkboard paint now comes in many colors and can be used for creative or functional purposes. While chalkboard paint may not serve every room in your home, there may be small spaces or certain furniture that can be improved with this paint. This blog will share a few pros and cons of including chalkboards in different areas of a home.
## Pro: Great For Accent Walls
Chalkboard paint can be applied to one wall in a children’s bedroom or on a small wall in a kitchen that may not serve any other purpose. Accent walls with chalkboard paint can be used to make lists, draw pictures, keep notes, or create a calendar. Using chalkboard paint for accent walls will save you time since it needs to be applied with precision.
Chalkboard paint can also come in other colors besides black, which makes it an even more appealing option for an accent wall. Black paint can have a  or shrinking effect on a room, so choosing a colored chalkboard paint will give you the best of both worlds.
## Con: Needs To Be Applied To A Smooth Surface
If you have a textured wall or textured furniture, chalkboard paint won’t be very useful. A smooth writing surface is needed in order to write with chalk, so any wood or faux texture will not be the best for a chalkboard. This is also why applying chalkboard paint can take longer because it will need to be as smooth as possible. Avoiding bubbles or streaks is important for these surfaces.
## Pro: Avoid Cleaning Off Childrens “Artwork” Off Other Walls
Homes with little children are at risk of having their drawings on their painted walls. Children may not understand the damage that crayons and markers can have on walls, so having a chalkboard wall can lower this risk. Chalkboard walls will give children a creative space for doodles, writing their names, or drawing with you. Chalk is easier to wipe off the chalkboard paint compared to scrubbing off other surfaces.
## Con: Will Need Frequent Dusting
Not only will there be chalk dust to clean off the surrounding floors and walls, but dust can show up easily on black surfaces. If you choose black or a dark color chalkboard paint, you may have to dust frequently if you want it to look appealing. Compared to other surfaces in a home, chalkboards may need to be dusted at least twice as often, especially compared to hidden corners or top shelves that are rarely seen.  is even more important when using chalkboard paint in your home.
## Pro: Can Be Used For More Than Just Walls
Chalkboard paint can be used on cabinets, furniture, walls, ceilings, and other accessories. If you are someone who loves to be creative, having different chalkboard surfaces in your home will help make your home feel more personal and allow you to change up the look with new chalk drawings or notes. Some popular places to add chalkboard paint include:
 !
* Cabinets or pantry doors
* Fridge
* Backsplash
* Garages
* Play tables
* Small corners or odd-sized walls
## Con: Not For Heavy Use Or High Traffic Areas
While most i are durable, chalkboard paint does not hold up well to frequent scuffs, skin oils, or temperature fluctuations. Placing chalkboard paint in your home often means that you will need to repaint or touch up certain areas frequently. For homeowners with a busy life or different activities in their home, chalkboard paint may not be the best option for you.

# 6 Tips For Choosing Eco-Friendly Paints
  /    /  6 Tips For Choosing Eco-Friendly Paints
Not all paints are created equal and many of them could lead to health issues in the future. Eco-friendly paints will help keep your home safe while also reducing the harm you cause to the environment. Choosing the right paint has gotten easier now that more companies and consumers are pushing for cleaner ingredients, but here are some things to look for to ensure you are getting a true eco-friendly .
## 1- Learn More About VOC Levels
One way to tell if a paint is eco-friendly is to look for zero VOCs. Volatile Organic Compounds are organic compounds that can vaporize and linger in the air. These chemicals can last for days inside a home or business as the paint dries. VOCs can cause headaches, dizziness, respiratory impairment, and even memory loss. Choosing a paint with low VOCs will help you have peace of mind about your health and indoor air quality. Paints without harsh chemicals will also have  that often come when painting indoors. Look for paints that have no or low VOC to reduce pollutants in your home.
## 2- Certifications To Look For
Paint companies will oftentimes put certifications on their paint products to help consumers see that they offer quality paints. Looking for these safety seals or certifications will help you to know that you are purchasing eco-friendly paint. Some certifications that indicate a safer paint include:
* Green Seal
* GREENGUARD
* LEED
* ECOSPEC Certification
* Environmental Product Declaration
These certifications will show that the paint complies with strict eco-standards or the brand is more transparent about how they are impacting the environment.
## 3- Prioritize Health Benefits
While some paint products will have a low impact on the environment (recycled packing materials, natural paint ingredients, etc.) not all of them will be good for your health. Prioritizing health benefits when remodeling or painting your home is crucial for the quality of life of those living there.  Eco-friendly and healthy paint options help reduce toxic chemicals that could be damaging to your respiratory system, health concerns for pregnant women, and allergy irritation.
## 4- Look Into Natural Paints
Natural paints like clay, chalk paints, or plant-based paints will be more eco-friendly than other paint products. Biodegradable ingredients like milk protein, lime, or beeswax can improve the aesthetics of your home without creating health hazards or depleting natural resources. Natural paints or plant-based paints are virtually free of chemicals and have a longer shelf life. Choosing either recycled paints, plant-based paints, or natural paints will improve the quality of your home while giving you a vivid color change.
## 5- Read Ingredients Carefully
While some paint brands can say they are offering eco-friendly alternatives, their ingredients may say otherwise. An informed consumer will read through the ingredients to see what they are really . Look for ingredients like heavy metals, chromium, formaldehyde, or synthetic dyes. All of these ingredients can be harmful in large quantities and create long-lasting odors when used indoors.
## 6- Brands That Offer Eco-Friendly Paints
Having a list of natural brands when you go paint shopping can help you know you are making the right choice. Eco-friendly paints are often not carried in bigger stores, but some large brands offer more  in addition to their other products. Here are some natural brands or brands that carry some eco-friendly options.
* The Real Milk Paint Co.
* Natural Earth Paint
* Good Natured LLC
* Farrow & Ball
* Benjamin Moore
* AFM Safecoat
* Graham & Brown
