Low odor paints or odorless paints are one of the hottest paint products out there in the market. Upon using the paint myself, here are some of its pros and cons that I have discovered.
Pro: Indoor paint jobs
Ventilation is not a problem when you are using odorless paint colors. You can breathe easily while you paint when you are using odorless paints. I dare say that now you can paint the interiors of schools and even hospitals without worrying about how the smell of the paint colors will distract students or patients.
Con: Expense
There is one catch however - low odor paints are more expensive than normal paints. Though not as much, they are still more expensive.
And while a 5 percent increase in price may not affect small paint jobs like a home interior, it will factor greatly in large scale projects such as office buildings and other industrial projects.
To be tested: Durability
One thing that people are not sure about odorless paints is if it is durable enough to withstand a lot of wear and tear. With that, let’s just take a wait and see approach. There are no complains so far and that is definitely a good sign.
The verdict:
Cost is the only negative thing that you can find in low odor paints and there are a lot of reasons why you should use it over normal paints. The environmental and health factors alone outweigh the cost that you have to pay to purchase them not to mention that there are no glaring differences in the quality between the two types of paints.
