Ideal Paint Solutions

While branding and aesthetics are obvious reasons to choose high-quality commercial painting for your business, there is much more at stake economically, environmentally and health-wise. Topping the list for many SMBs (small and mid-sized businesses) is durability. Demand for paint products that last longer, maintain a higher performance and keep their appearance over long spans of time with less need for maintenance is growing and likely will continue to do so, particularly in seasons of economic fluctuations. Key durability features are resistance to daily wear and tear, stains, dirt and mildew as well as enhanced washability. These factors are especially critical for high-traffic places such as schools, hospitals, hotels, gyms and industrial facilities, especially those with high-humidity spaces such as wet rooms, saunas and swimming pools. Such spaces are susceptible to mold growth which can cause paint to stain, peel and blister. Meanwhile, the construction industry’s trend toward sustainable design is feeding a growth in projects that require LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. That's critical because paint and coatings can contribute to nearly a third (27 percent) of the points needed to achieve LEED v4 certification. Increased use of durable and low VOC paints and coatings serves to eliminate paint-related odors and create a healthier indoor environment, which not only protects the wellbeing of employees, customers and vendors who visit a place of business, but also helps companies keep in line with EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) regulations.
