5 Reasons Why You Should Try Earthborn Paints

With so many paints on the market today, we can feel overwhelmed with choice. Sometimes we find that we are drawn into marketing campaigns instead of choosing the paint that's right for us.

Here are 5 reasons why you should try Earthborn paints which are available in Decor Express stores and online.

Reason 1: Breathability

Claypaint is a breathable emulsion. This is perfect for historic properties or homes that have issues with damp as it allows the walls to breath.

How does Claypaint compare with standard emulsion?

The breathability of paint is measured in MVT (Moisture Vapour Transmission) A standard emulsion between 400-500g/m² per 24hours
Whereas Claypaint is 1115g/m² per 24hours
These figures show that Claypaint is more than twice as breathable as a standard emulsion.

Reason 2: Environmentally friendly


Since Earthborn was founded, their mission has been to create a range of paints that are healthier to live with, beautiful to look at and better for the environment.

Earthborn consider not only what goes into their paints, but also, perhaps more importantly, what comes out. Earthborn paints are water based and free from oils, with Claypaint being totally free from acrylics and vinyl. The paints carry a range of titanium dioxide free colours and avoid known allergens.

Reason 3: Safe for Children

For many people their top priority is the health and safety of their family. The list below shows all Earthborn products that are certified as being safe to use on children’s furniture and toys, carrying the most recent Safety of Toys Standard

Reason 4: No Nasty Paint Smells

Because Earthborn take so much care over what goes into (and stays out of) paints, they don’t give off any harmful emissions or nasty paint smells. Some paints can continue to ‘off gas’ for many months after being applied to the walls but Earthborn paints are safe to use and rooms can be returned to normal straight after being decorated.
