Writing on the Green IdeaPaint Wall

Ideapaint-home-wall

IdeaPaint says it has the most environmentally friendly dry-erase product on the market.  As you can see from these images, the product is applied to your choice of walls, and about seven days later, it's ready to be used.  It's just perfect for the brilliant, A Beautiful Mind types, but I realize that many of you never have and never will use a dry-erase product.  If you do, give IdeaPaint a look.  The company claims green attributes in three main areas.

First, IdeaPaint is a relatively healthy product.  It's formaldehyde-free and does not off-gas once it's dry.  Second, IdeaPaint requires less energy to make because it's stirred, whereas other dry-erase boards are baked and cured.  Third, IdeaPaint ships with less materials than other dry-erase products, and IdeaPaint doesn't require the kind of raw materials used in typical dry-erase products (i.e., wood, steel, aluminum, vinyl, or resin). 

If you're an ideas person, you probably jot stuff down all the time.  I like to carry a moleskin or legal pad for those bursts of inspiration, but I kind of like the idea of covering a wall at work with this paint.  It could seriously come in handy.  What do you think?

    Does this really works as a countertop finish? Pretty fun product!

    Interesting. I think I am going to coat my whole place in this before I have kids. That way when they marker up the wall (and that day comes for every parent), then it wont matter at all! :-)

    Looks like it does. The surface needs to be flat, but other than that, I’m not sure what it took to get this on a countertop.

    It was the correct address as of about midnight last night. The site went down after we published this article. We’ll see if they’re doing an overhaul or something.

    I know you said it is not supposed to off-gas but when I looked at their website I couldn’t find anything about it being low-VOC. Did anyone find that information somewhere?
