Understanding low-VOC paint options
A low-VOC description is one piece of product information, not a complete specification.
Discuss your projectCheck the actual product
Read the manufacturer’s published information for the coating and primer proposed. Similar marketing names can describe different systems and uses.
Consider application
Suitability for the substrate, ventilation, drying and return-to-use guidance still matter. Raise any particular requirements before the paint is selected.
Keep a record
Include the product, colour and finish in the decorating schedule. Avoid broad claims about safety or environmental performance that the product information does not support.
