Choosing the right paint for your home is more than just picking the right color. The type of paint you use can also affect indoor air quality, odor, and your home’s overall comfort.
Low-VOC and zero-VOC paints are a popular choice for homeowners looking to reduce emissions from interior painting; they’re especially worth considering for bedrooms, children’s rooms, nurseries, and the like.
At Aashna Interiors LLC, we help Dubai homeowners choose the right interior wall paints for their needs, preferred finish, and budget.

Benefits of Low-VOC Paint for Homes in Dubai

In Dubai, all of the major brands such as Jotun, Caparol, and Dulux provide superior paint quality or low VOC paints, 

To keep VOCs within limits, we suggest choosing white or a Base color, or keeping the paint tint in lighter shades. This will keep VOCs under control; for example, if no paint tint is added, the paint is as close to zero-VOC as possible. The more colorant you add, the more VOC components the paint contains; for example, black will have higher VOC content than white.

The benefit of low-VOC paint for homes is improved indoor air quality; people with breathing problems may feel more comfortable after VOC-free paint is applied.

 

Is Zero-VOC Paint Better for Children's Rooms and Bedrooms?

Yes, zero-VOC paint is best for children and good for all age groups. It improves indoor air quality, but zero-VOC paint alone doesn’t guarantee a room is free of all indoor pollutants.
