Sustainability and building health
Water based silicate paints are virtually VOC free, supporting
occupant wellbeing and safer site conditions. Their mineral
composition aligns well with conservation principles and
broader sustainability objectives, making them a suitable
choice for heritage-led projects.
When specified and applied correctly, breathable mineral
paint systems allow historic buildings to perform as intended—
protecting fabric, enhancing appearance, and reducing long
term maintenance. For custodians and contractors alike, this
considered approach plays a vital role in ensuring that our
built heritage endures for future generations.
