Experience has shown us that Low VOC (Volatile Organic Chemicals) paints are a popular choice, but especially in the industries of Healthcare, Aged Care and Retirement Living. Recognised mainly for their low odour and lower toxicity, they are safer to be around due to the minimal impact on air quality making them the preferred coating option for areas which are occupied by the ill and/or elderly.
Low-VOC paints are also a great choice when we consider the impact of paint products on our environment. They help to reduce the concentration of contaminants in the ozone layer, as well as groundwater and landfills.
Perrott Painting prefer to use the Wattyl ID Advanced range of paints when Low VOC is required. This range of coatings is GECA (Good Environmental Choice Australia) and APAS (Australian Paint Approval Scheme) approved and further information on the certification of these products can be found here:
