A Green Painting Solution

A unique ceramic coating system is the new painting option.

Did you know there is an alternative to painting your home that will provide you with energy savings and is environmentally friendly? The solution is Rhino Shield, a water- and ceramic-based product newly available for residential use.

Jeff Olson is the owner of Rhino Shield, the only provider of the product in the area. “Rhino Shield is unique because it reflects UV energy, allowing you to save on your energy bills,” he says. The ceramics inside it make it equal to a 5-inch insulated wall.

By contrast, conventional paint is just a “powder coating,” says Jeff, that doesn’t insulate or protect the home from sun or moisture. Jeff’s family left the painting business years ago because with regular paint, homeowners are just “renting color.”

“Painting definitely does not insulate and because the home underneath is being destroyed by rain and sun, extra trees and resources are used to repair the home,” he says.

Rhino Shield is nontoxic and has no VOCs. It is maintenance-free and lasts a lifetime, saving on the production and disposal of paint products. The EPA considers it an encapsulator for toxic and lead paints.

Rhino Shield is available in every color that is imaginable, says Jeff. It has been used commercially and industrially for over 40 years by multinational corporations around the world. Look no further for the optimal energy-saving and environmentally friendly solution to covering your home.
