Paragon Painting Uses Dustless Sanding

Paragon Painting of Charleston is a virtually dustless painting company. We have invested in one of the best dust extraction tools available on the market to keep your home clean and the air safe.

Good Painters Sand

Every good painter sands A LOT, sometimes we sand to smooth rough surfaces and sometimes we sand to make smooth surfaces rough to allow proper paint adhesion. The biggest co prate of harmful dust on interior painting jobs is joint compound/drywall dust. This dust occurs when sanding joint compound which is what fills in all the imperfections in the walls prior to painting.

Every house has scratches, nail pops, cracks, dings, and dents in their drywall and part of our job is to make those imperfections disappear leaving you with the smoothest walls possible.

Drywall Dust Health Concerns

When joint compound (aka mud) is sanded very fine dust particles are created which contains crystalline silica and mica, OHSA has labeled both of them as hazardous materials. These hazardous materials can stay suspended in the air for long periods of time, during which they can travel throughout your home coating your belongings, damage your HVAC system, and worst of all get inhaled by you and your family.
