Hey everyone! 
I’ve been diving deep into making my home more energy-efficient and sustainable, and I’ve hit a bit of a crossroads when it comes to choosing the right paint. I recently tried Earthborn Claypaint for my living room and was blown away by its natural texture and how it helped regulate the room’s humidity. But now, I’m looking to paint my entire house and want to explore other options that align with my green living goals.
I’m particularly interested in paints that are not only eco-friendly but also contribute to the energy efficiency of my home. I’ve heard great things about Biofa’s natural paints and their compatibility with various surfaces, but I’m curious if anyone has experience with their thermal insulation properties? Also, has anyone tried Auro’s natural paints? I’m intrigued by their claim of being 100% natural and their range of colors.
What are your go-to sustainable paint brands for energy-efficient homes? Have you noticed a difference in your home’s temperature regulation or energy bills after switching to natural paints? Let’s share our experiences and help each other make more informed, eco-conscious choices! 
Hey @EcoPainterJane, great topic! I’ve been using Biofa’s natural paints for a couple of years now, and I must say, the difference in air quality is noticeable. While I can’t provide hard data on thermal insulation, the paint does seem to help maintain a more consistent temperature in my home. Plus, the application process was a breeze, and the finish is beautiful. Highly recommend giving it a try!

I’ve been curious about Auro’s natural paints myself. Their commitment to being 100% natural is impressive, and I’ve heard their color range is fantastic. Has anyone here used them for exterior walls? I’m wondering about their durability and how they hold up against weather changes.

@GreenThumb88, thanks for sharing your experience with Biofa’s natural paints! It’s encouraging to hear about the positive impact on air quality and temperature consistency. I’ll definitely consider them for my next project. Did you use any specific type for different rooms, or did you stick to one product throughout?

I’ve experimented with several eco-friendly paints, and Earthborn Claypaint remains my favorite for its texture and humidity regulation. However, for energy efficiency, I’ve also had good experiences with Ecos Organic Paints. They’re VOC-free and have a wide range of colors. Plus, their customer service is excellent for any application questions.

@SunnyDaze, I used Auro’s natural paints on my exterior walls last summer, and I’m really pleased with the results. The colors have stayed vibrant, and the paint has held up well against rain and sun. It’s a bit pricier, but for the quality and eco-friendliness, I think it’s worth it.

@LeafyGreen, thanks for the recommendation on Ecos Organic Paints! I hadn’t considered them before, but being VOC-free is a big plus for me. How do you find their coverage and drying time compared to other natural paints you’ve used?

Has anyone tried mixing different brands of natural paints to achieve a custom color? I’m thinking of experimenting but worried about compatibility issues. Any tips or experiences would be greatly appreciated!
@RusticRoots, I’ve mixed Biofa’s natural paints with a bit of Earthborn Claypaint to adjust the texture and color for a feature wall. It worked out well, but I’d recommend doing a small test patch first to ensure compatibility and that you’re happy with the result. Patience is key!

I’ve been on the eco-friendly paint journey for a while now, and I have to say, Auro’s natural paints have been a game changer for me. The fact that they’re 100% natural really aligns with my values, and the color range is just stunning. I painted my bedroom with one of their deep greens, and it’s like sleeping in a forest. As for energy efficiency, I’ve noticed my room stays cooler in the summer, which is a huge plus.
Interesting to hear about Biofa’s natural paints. I’ve been considering them for my kitchen. I’m all about improving air quality, especially in spaces where I cook. Has anyone tried them in high-moisture areas? I’m curious about their durability and if they can handle the steam and occasional splashes without peeling or molding.

I’ve used Auro’s natural paints on my exterior walls last summer, and I must say, the durability is impressive. They’ve withstood heavy rain and intense sun without fading or peeling. The color range is indeed fantastic, and it feels good knowing it’s 100% natural. However, it’s a bit pricier than conventional paints, but for me, the benefits outweigh the cost.

I haven’t tried Auro’s paints yet, but I’ve been using Biofa’s natural paints for a while now. They’re great for indoor use, especially in rooms where you want to maintain a certain humidity level. Not sure about their thermal insulation properties, but they definitely contribute to a healthier indoor air quality. Might give Auro a try for my next project though.

Just chiming in to say that I’ve been considering switching to natural paints for a while now. Hearing about Auro’s durability from you guys is really encouraging. I’m curious, though, about the application process. Is it similar to regular paint, or are there special techniques needed?

I’ve been on the fence about natural paints, mainly because of the cost. But after reading about the durability and eco-friendliness of Auro’s paints, I’m seriously considering it. Does anyone know if there are any government incentives or rebates for using eco-friendly paints? That might help offset the initial investment.

I’ve been using Biofa’s natural paints for a while now, and I must say, the difference in air quality is noticeable. They don’t have that strong paint smell, which is a big plus for me. As for thermal insulation, I haven’t done any scientific measurements, but my living room feels warmer in winter and cooler in summer compared to before. It’s worth giving them a try if you’re into natural solutions.

I tried Auro’s natural paints last year for my bedroom, and I was really impressed with the quality. The colors are vibrant, and the paint went on smoothly. They claim to be 100% natural, and I believe it because there was no odor at all. I can’t say for sure if it’s made a difference in my energy bills, but I feel good knowing I’m not breathing in harmful chemicals.

I’m all for Ecos Organic Paints! I used them to repaint my kitchen and dining area. The application was easy, and the finish is beautiful. They’re VOC-free, which was a big deal for me since I have allergies. I haven’t noticed a significant change in my energy bills, but the peace of mind knowing I’m using a product that’s better for the environment and my health is worth it.

I haven’t tried the brands mentioned yet, but I’ve been looking into Farrow & Ball’s eco-friendly options. They offer a range of low-VOC paints that are supposed to be durable and eco-conscious. Has anyone here used them? I’m curious about their performance and if they contribute to energy efficiency in any way. Also, how do they compare to the other brands discussed here in terms of application and finish?
