What’s the difference between low-VOC and no-VOC? Do I need no-VOC or is low good enough?

I would suggest no-VOC. As the names suggest low-VOC would still expose you and your family to toxins being released into the air, this process is also known as “off gassing”. These toxins or volatile organic compounds can negatively impact your health as well as the mental development of young children.

There will be a diffence of about $20 per gallon between regular paint and low/no-VOC paints.
