In this podcast, Dulux Trade’s Sustainability and CSR Lead, Peter Howard, discusses how to improve sustainability in social housing.
Across the sector, there are a wide range of solutions to meet sustainability ambitions – and the role that paints and coatings play should not be overlooked. There is an intrinsic sustainability benefit to paints and coatings, as they can preserve and protect substrates and surfaces – as well as beautify them. Opting for durable paints reduces the number of maintenance cycles across a building’s life. By redecorating less, housing managers are reducing the carbon footprint of a property while also cutting costs.
To do this, opt for durable products like Dulux Trade Diamond Matt, which is 99.9% VOC free (based on in-can VOC content, measured in accordance with ISO 11890-2:2013) and enables repeated cleaning and scrubbing. Similarly, Dulux Trade Scuffshield, which contains scuff resistant technology, is another example of how selecting the correct paint for the job can lengthen maintenance cycles.
