nderstanding the latest in coatings technology and
occupants view the bathroom as a relaxing retreat or functional space for everyone in the family, keep it sparkling by selecting durable prod- ucts that withstand the test of time. Consider selecting a coating that provides high levels of resistance to moisture and water-spotting. Also, a paint formulated with antimicrobial agents inhibits the growth of mold and mildew on the paint surface and inhibits the growth of bacterial odors. Applying the right product in the bathroom can also mean a faster return to service and fewer repaints.
THE BEDROOM Homeowners and occupants will sleep easy with the right product specifications that can create a desired refuge. Air quality is a factor that continues to grow in importance to people. Appeal to this preference by selecting coatings that have achieved GREENGUARD GOLD Certification for low chemical emissions into indoor air during prod- uct usage. (For more information, visit ul.com/gg.) Using a coating with zero Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) or one that meets the most stringent VOC requirements is a great choice. Another great innovation is Formal- dehyde Reducing Technology, which helps promote better indoor air quality by reducing airborne concentrations of formaldehyde and other aldehydes. This technology helps reduce the levels of VOCs from potential sources like insulation, carpet, cabinets, fabrics, and other building materials. For children’s bedrooms, consider coatings that are highly washable with stain-blocking properties, as well as resistance to marks and burnishing. Paint technologies have come a long way. Selecting the right prod- ucts for a space can have a signifi- cant impact on satisfaction, property durability, and long-term savings in cost and labor for property owners. •
