About: Chris Williams & earthwise
"After all the years I have been working as a decorator I still find immense pleasure in transforming a room or building that is dull and tired into a space that is revitalised and inviting.
However, having worked for such a long period with conventional paint materials, I became increasingly concerned with how they were affecting my health.
I undertook some extensive research into commercial paints, and learnt some shocking facts about the toxic nature of these paints and the impact they were having on me, my clients, and the environment.
I have gradually moved over to using eco paints that are made from natural, organic, solvent free materials. What has impressed me most since using natural paints are the health benefits, no smells, no headaches, and no feeling drained at the end of the day!
I set up earthwise in 2007, as the ecological arm of my painting and decorating business. I still work with better quality commercial paints However my preference is to work with eco paints, I see this phase as a time of gradual transition, as people become more aware of the harmful impact of conventional paints and decorating materials."
