Lunch & Learn: Paints and coatings have moved on - specifying and using low VOC, low carbon paints

Date / Time:

Friday, 13 March 2026 - 13:00PM - 14:00PM.

What is the webinar about?

Paint is just paint, isn’t it? Apparently not - paint is not what it was 20 years ago – or even 5 years ago.

Paint technology has been changing at a fast pace but have housebuilders been adapting and adopting the more sustainable paints now available? Unfortunately the housebuilder sector seems to be one of the last sectors to change.

There are many myths about more modern lower VOC paints, but there are some truths too, and it’s important to be informed and aware of the differences between the older formulations still available, and the more sustainable paints now taking over, and to be prepared for the impending demise of those older paint types.

This webinar will give a manufacturer’s perspective (Dulux) alongside a painting contractor operating in the homebuilder sector and a housebuilder who has already made the switch
