(Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method)
BREEAM certifications are more common in the UK. An assessor is required to give the finished building work a rating. The higher the rating, the greater the sustainability requirements.
(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
This global rating system for sustainable and environmentally sound buildings is based on a pass-fail system.
Customers often think about colour first, but you can help them understand the benefits of choosing products that combine great colour with sustainable benefits. We’re on a mission to reduce the harmful carbon-containing compounds that negatively impact air quality (VOC’s) and are replacing solvent-based paints with water-based paint where possible. That means cleaner air while you decorate, and a cleaner option for the planet, too.
All Dulux Trade interior emulsion paints are now water-based. This means they contain less VOCs (volatile organic compounds) than solvent-based alternatives. So they produce less emissions and have less odour. This applies to Dulux Trade Quick Dry Gloss and Dulux Trade Quick Dry Satin, too. Dulux Trade Diamond Matt is 99.9% VOC-free.
Water-based Dulux Trade Sterishield, originally developed for hospitals, contains an active ingredient that fights bacteria. Suitable for all interior walls and ceilings, it’s also 99.9% VOC-free, making it a family-friendly solution for kitchens and bathrooms. Dulux Trade Mouldshield contains a mild fungicide that targets allergen-triggering mould and helps prevent fungal growth.
