Healthy paint spec for accessible home
Steve Hudson and his wife Barbara were searching for a house enabling
ease of movement for Steve’s wheelchair. Eventually, the couple found a
rural property for demolition to make room for a new, purpose-designed
home. Barbara said: “We built a single storey property with extra wide
doorways and rooms large enough for a wheelchair to move around.
Aesthetically, we wanted to make the most of the views from each room.
And ethically, we wanted the build to be environmentally friendly.” Steve
and Barbara specified EarthbornClaypaint for most walls and most
rooms have their own colour theme, such as Sunday Stroll in the sitting
room, to complement the landscape views from the patio doors.
Earthborn paints are made without oils or acrylics, so are virtually VOC
free, do not give off any toxic emissions and are much better for the
health of building occupants as well as the environment. It also means
there are no strong smells, so Steve and Barbara could move into their
new home more quickly after painting. Claypaint is a clay based emulsion,
made using advanced technology to maximise the natural properties of
clay. The result is a high performance, highly breathable paint that is EU
Ecolabel approved and available in a standard palette of 72 shades.
