Bathtub Refinishing

3 FAQs about Eco-Friendly Bathroom Renovations

Are you dreaming of a bathroom upgrade in your St. Charles area home that’s budget-friendly and environmentally conscious? For years, Fox Valley Bathtub Refinishing has offered tub refinishing as an easy and quick option to upgrade your bathroom in an eco-savvy way. But what does it mean to say we have an eco-friendly process? Here are three tangible ways a green approach is reshaping bathroom renovations, making them beautiful and planet-friendly.

1. What Do VOCs Have to Do With It?

VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) might sound complex, but their impact is straightforward. Exposure to VOCs can lead to irritations like headaches, nausea, and worsened asthma symptoms. Most refinishing companies use coatings loaded with these compounds, posing health risks. However, we’re different. We’ve embraced eco-friendly products with low VOCs, prioritizing your well-being and safety. Our green coatings meet stringent U.S. EPA standards and comply with California’s regulations for air quality, which are some of the strictest in the world.

2. Should I Be Worried about Overspray?

Overspray during bathtub refinishing can make your home a mess and potentially risk your family’s health. Unlike other refinishers using makeshift solutions like store-bought fans, we use the industry’s strongest professional ventilation system. This high-tech setup minimizes odors and virtually eliminates overspray, providing your family with a safe and contained refinishing process.

3. How Long Does a Refinished Tub Last?

The lifespan of a refinished tub hinges on maintenance and usage. Generally, with proper care, expect a beautifully refinished tub to last between 10 to 15 years. What’s our secret? Our coatings create a resilient, high-gloss finish that is highly resistant to impact, chemicals, moisture, and even UV rays.

Along with bathtubs, we also use these coatings on sinks and showers. Our coatings last, offering durability in the face of wear and tear. Practically, this saves you money, and because you’re reusing your tub, you’re limiting how much waste goes to the landfill. Win. Win.

When refinishing your tub, an eco-friendly approach should be non-negotiable. Fox Valley Bathtub Refinishing delivers on all fronts, prioritizing the environment, your health, and the longevity of your newly refinished bathtub. So, if you’re planning a bathtub upgrade in your home in the St Charles, Batavia, Geneva, Elgin, or Naperville area, we’re here to help. Contact us today at (847) 650-6271 or request a quote online.
