Did You Know: All products reviewed by The Green Guide and available for purchase through Evo.com are independently chosen, researched and reviewed by The Green Guide editors. Evo is not informed in advance of publication which products The Green Guide editors are choosing to review, nor are suggestions for products or product categories transmitted from the Evo staff to The Green Guide editors. The Green Guide does not accept or receive payment or consideration by product manufacturers. Because we list manufacturer sugested retail prices, these may differ from prices found at individual retail sites.
How We Made Our Decisions
The finishes are either natural finishes or water-based, low- or no-VOC chemical finishes that have been formulated to reduce air-polluting emissions. Some are both natural and low-VOC. Before you buy, read product specs or call the manufacturer to be certain you're choosing the right product for the job, as formulas differ in their durability, sheen and color.
