Savvy consumers are becoming more aware of the environment these days. Global warming has been in the forefront of countless discussions publicly and in private. More business owners are getting the message and offering greener product lines to attract environmentally conscious customers. Starting in 2008 the bathtub refinishing industry is following suit. Product suppliers such as the Bathtub Refinishing Referral Network are introducing a safer paint coating to consumers in the do-it-yourself home improvement market.
For 35 years the only solution for refinishing a bathtub was to use very toxic and hazardous coatings such urethanes. These coatings have never been friendly to the environment or to consumers. If you have ever had a bathtub refinished, you know what we mean. The urethane fumes are very strong and the person applying them had to wear what amounted to a space suit to protect themselves.
Today we see a very different picture with the introduction of High-Bred coatings for bathtub refinishing. These one part epoxy coatings are just as durable as urethanes, dry just as fast and retain a very high gloss sheen. The best part about High Breds , they are less toxic and more safe for consumers. The low VOC formulations adhere to government regulations and the environment reaps the benefits.
The do-it-yourself home improvement industry has seen a three fold growth since 2001. More consumers are finding that bathtub refinishing enhances the beauty of their old fixtures and at a fraction of the cost of replacement. You don't have to hire a professional exclusively anymore. Quality products are available to do-it-yourself.
