			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have seen a huge rise in Environmentally Friendly products; so huge that it now accounts for 45% of materials we’ve supplied in the last year and we expect it to keep rising!</p>
<p><strong>About Eco friendly paints</strong></p>
<p>Eco and Organic paints, oils, waxes and varnishes tend to contain only natural raw materials and best describe products which are solvent free and don’t cause irritation and serious health problems. Naturally they’re kinder to the planet too.</p>
<p>The exception for some may be a tiny amount of a synthetic, lead free drier, as no natural alternative exists. This drier constitutes less than 0.3% of the total volume of the product and is only used where necessary in some wood finishes. </p>
<p>This product group tend to be free of <strong>Volatile organic compound</strong> (VOC); a solvent found particularly in paints and protective coatings. Solvents are required to spread a protective or decorative film. Approximately 12 billion litres of paints are produced annually.</p>
<p>VOC refers to organic chemical compounds which have significant vapour pressures which can affect the environment and human health. VOCs are numerous, varied, and ever-present. Although VOCs include both man-made and naturally occurring chemical compounds, it is the anthropogenic VOCs that are regulated, especially for indoors where concentrations can be highest. VOCs are typically not acutely toxic but have chronic effects.</p>
<p>Using natural elements it is possible that pigmentation and colours are stronger, vivid and richer than industrially synthetic produced products.</p>
<p>The majority of products are identified by the EU Ecolabel. For more information on the Ecolabel <a href="http://ec.europa.eu/environment/ecolabel/about_ecolabel/what_is_ecolabel_en.htm">click here</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Interior painting &#8211; Transforming your walls and ceilings</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://blog.jtw-contractors.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/painting-decorating-services-022.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-56" title="painting-decorating-services-022" src="http://blog.jtw-contractors.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/painting-decorating-services-022-150x150.jpg" alt="Interior painting" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Tips for interior painting, decorating and preparation of walls and ceiling</strong></p>
<p>Nothing like new painting decorating brings an internal makeover to life but cutting corners can result in a disappointing finish. Ask any painter decorator and you will always get the same reply &#8216;the best results are due to the best prepartion&#8217;.</p>
<p>Preparation is key to ensuring your homes&#8217; interior decorating looks glorious and its worth taking the time.   Tired and uneven wall surfaces can be made good and you&#8217;ll be far more happy with the finished result having not painted over them.   If you don&#8217;t have the time or inclination to perform the works then you should obtain estimates from a painter decorator London. </p>
<p><strong>Basic Tips</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Remove the curtains/blinds, lighting and as much furniture from the room.</li>
<li>Cover the remaining furniture and the floor surface if you don’t want it to get dirty.</li>
<li>Fill all nail holes, dents, and cracks on the wall, plasterwork or woodwork with a suitable filler (polyfilla, woodfiller or caulking).</li>
<li>Remove loose paint and sand any uneven edges.</li>
<li>Before any painting wash all surfaces thoroughly.</li>
<li>Mask window frames, electrical sockets, light switches and surfaces you don’t want to paint. It&#8217;s worth the time!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Interior painting &#8211; Professional painters<br />
</strong>Our team of painters and decorators will prepare your walls properly and take care of all of the necessary preparations required to ensure your new look gets the best possible finish.</p>
<p>From JTW-Contractors &#8211; <a title="Interior painting London" href="http://www.jtw-contractors.com/">Interior painting in London</a>:</p>
<p>Our decorators are equipped with tools to ensure paint is evenly and smoothly distributed on whatever surface you require.</p>
<p> Spraying can be advantageous for projects on a tight timescale or hard-to-reach places and always results in a superior finish.</p>
