NYC Painters Use Bacteria-Killing Paint

Antimicrobial Paint Destroys Bacteria

When it comes to choosing paint, color is not your only decision. Finish surface like matte, glossy, eggshell or semi-gloss needs to be considered. And perhaps as important, or more so in our newly adjusted environment, is considering the constitution of the paint itself. Sherwin-Williams has developed an interior latex microbicidal paint dubbed “Paint Shield” which has the power to kill some bacteria like Staph, E. coli and MRSA within two hours of application. It comes in an eggshell finish and 550 colors. As long as the surface is clean and smooth, it continues to work killing around 90% of bacteria for up to four years. This can be shaken, stirred and tinted for your interior color scheme and applied by the professional painters at Paintworks & Decorating. Our slogan has not changed, while the world around us may have:

Painting is our passion – Making people happy is our mission.

 And contributing to making people safe is now a reality with “Paint Shield”. The formula is patented and has been registered with the Environmental Protection Agency [EPA]. This novel paint product was developed for schools, health care establishments and athletic places, and now is available for your home. Walls, trim, doors and ceilings are good candidates and perhaps your kitchen and bathrooms should be painted first because of the volume of activity in those rooms. If cabin fever has set in, start thinking about coloring your space while adding a protective paint layer with bacteria-killing properties throughout your home, business and work and play spaces.
