Peck painting is proud to be a part of this Medical Center green project here on the Space Coast. We used Sherwin Williams Harmony paint which is a 0 voc (volatile organic compound) perfect for interior painting in hospitals, restaurants, hotels, public areas and environmentally conscious customers. Parrish Healthcare Center at Port St. John was designed with the goal of achieving LEED certification for energy use, lighting, water and material use and a variety of other sustainable strategies.

LEED is the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) leading edge system for designing and constructing the world's greenest, energy efficient, high performing buildings. LEED was established by the USGBC for market leaders to design and construct buildings that protect and save precious resources while making good economic sense.

Plaster in a historic building is like a family album

This an article from the Technical Preservation Services/National Park Service/US Department of the Interior:
Plaster in a historic building is like a family album. The handwriting of the artisans, the taste of the original occupants, and the evolving styles of decoration are embodied in the fabric of the building. From modest farmhouses to great buildings, regardless of the ethnic origins of the occupants, plaster has traditionally been used to finish interior walls.

A versatile material, plaster could be applied over brick, stone, half-timber, or frame construction. It provided a durable surface that was easy to clean and that could be applied to flat or curved walls and ceilings.

Plaster could be treated in any number of ways: it could receive stenciling, decorative painting, wallpaper, or whitewash. This variety and the adaptability of the material to nearly any building size, shape, or configuration meant that plaster was the wall surface chosen for nearly all buildings until the 1930s or 40s.
