Western North Carolina Green Building Council

CONTRACTOR PROGRAM

Thanks for supporting locally made paint! I am a paint contractor who was poisoned by paint chemicals and set out to prove that it is possible to make “Great paint without the poison!”. As a contractor I never found a safe paint that was worth using. I fell under the belief that the more toxic the paint the better the performance. I wanted a cheap paint and I wanted it fast but my health was sacrificed. Over the years, as we’ve built Earthpaint, I’ve always kept this in mind. The paint has to be tough but without sacrificing health.

Non-toxic | Sustainable

There are some major differences between Earthpaint and other “green” paints you may have tried. First, this isn’t the kind of paint you’ll find at a large chain store. It’s a specialty paint. We make Non-toxic | Sustainable paint. Our paint is locally made and locally sourced. We formulate and manufacture it in Asheville and Statesville. No ingredients from overseas! Nearly all ingredients come from within a day’s drive of Asheville.

We use wind energy offsets to justify our electricity usage and gravity fed vats to conserve the energy that is consumed. Our cans biodegrade quickly and safely or can be recycled. The labels are unbleached, paper with no plastic coatings. Every single ingredient is scrutinized and must be safe from manufacture to landfill. All this plus the demand that it must be as tough as the best conventional paint.

Clear Skies Paint: Pure | Safe | Strong

Clear Skies is the only Non-toxic | Sustainable coating engineered for the rigors of professional use. Proven by professional contractors, Clear Skies is optimized to spray on and roll out quickly and smoothely. QUV accelerated weathering testing, and years of extensive field use have proven Clear Skies to be a very durable exterior coating with exceptional quality on wood and cement fibre siding.

We Never use vinyl, ethylene glycol, alcohol ester (texanol) or n-methyl pyrrolidone. And most importantly the toxic additives that you’ll find in most conventional paint (including many Low VOC paints) are thoroughly re-engineered in Clear Skies. It is the only paint to effectively, and comprehensively deal with the additives issue while retaining superior strength and beauty. Through years of intense research and field use we’ve developed additives that work great without the poisons!

We are absolutely serious about protecting the health of painters!
