Healthy and safe furniture for your children: the benefits of water-based paints compared to chemical paints

When it comes to choosing furniture for our children's rooms, safety and health are top priorities. At Théo- Bébé, we understand the importance of creating safe and healthy spaces for your little ones. That's why we are committed to using water-based paints for our furniture and not traditional chemical paints.

Safety first: why avoid chemical paints?
Chemical paints, often called solvent-based paints, contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These substances can emit harmful emanations long after the paint is applied, creating health risks, especially for children whose immune systems are still developing. VOCs can cause eye, nose and throat irritation, as well as headaches and dizziness. In the long term, prolonged exposure can even lead to respiratory problems or allergies.

At Théo-Bébé, we have banned the use of paints containing VOCs to protect the health of your children. Our furniture is designed to create a safe indoor environment, free from harmful chemicals. As such, Théo-Bébé beds, chests of drawers, cabinets or changing table are safe for your children.

Water-based paints: a healthy and ecological solution
Water-based paints are made from non-toxic natural or synthetic ingredients. They contain little or no VOCs, reducing the risk of indoor air pollution. Here are some of the main advantages of the water-based paints we use at Théo-Bébé:

• Reduced VOCs: water-based paints emit very few volatile organic compounds, which improves indoor air quality and reduces the risk of irritation and respiratory problems.
• Non-toxicity: water-based paints are non-toxic, which makes them safe for children who of course spend a lot of time near this furniture made for them. They do not contain heavy metals or other dangerous substances.
• Ease of application and maintenance: Water-based paints are easy to apply and clean. They dry quickly and the furniture can be cleaned simply with water and a little soap.
• Durability and aesthetics: Water-based paints offer excellent durability. They resist stains and daily wear, while offering a smooth and attractive finish (and to make your furniture last even longer, we also apply a coat of varnish, also solvent-free).

Théo-Bébé furniture: a commitment to quality and safety
At Théo-Bébé, each piece of furniture is carefully designed to ensure both safety and aesthetics. Our products are not only beautiful but also built to last, thanks to the use of high-quality materials and water- based paints.

• Our 60 x 120 cm and 70 x 140 cm beds are made from solid wood, mdf (unless otherwise specified) and covered with water-based paint without solvent or fumes. Soft, non-toxic finishes ensure your child can sleep peacefully.
• Our wardrobe and chests of drawers are not only functional but also natural with water-based paint that highlights all the beauty of the wood.

Théo-Bébé furniture is good for your children and for the planet
When you choose furniture for your children's bedroom, you are also investing in their health and well- being. Théo-Bébé is proud to offer products that meet the strictest standards for safety and quality. Our furniture is rigorously tested to ensure it is free of harmful substances and provides exceptional durability.
We have also obtained the LABEL A air quality after tests carried out by an independent laboratory (ISO 16000 used in French homes).

Water-based paints offers a healthy and ecological alternative to traditional chemical paints. At Théo- Bébé, we are committed to using only water-based paints to ensure our furniture is safe for your children and environmentally friendly.
