The Impact of Environmentally Friendly Coatings on Your World

A Conscious Decision to Protect Timber and Environment

In the not-so-distant past, the chemical makeup of paints was often a concoction of harmful substances. The lingering fumes of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were not just an olfactory nuisance but posed severe health risks. Fast forward to today, and the landscape of paint has undergone a transformative evolution, offering choices that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also environmentally responsible.

Choosing environmentally friendly coatings goes beyond the surface – it’s a conscious decision to protect not just your timber but also the environment we all share. The shift from toxic chemicals to sustainable alternatives marks a revolutionary change in how we approach the visual and environmental impact of our living spaces work.

ILVA timber coatings are made near Milan in a zero-emission, fully automated facility — using bio-based and water-based technology with very low VOC output.

Breathing Easier: Cleaner Air and Healthier Living Spaces

The impact of your coating choices resonates far beyond the immediate aesthetics of your living space. Environmentally friendly coatings contribute to cleaner air quality, reducing the risk of respiratory issues and allergies. This positive shift in the desire for better indoor air quality is reflected in the increase of making mindful choices of the products we bring into our homes..

Oli Natura eco-safe timber oils are certified food safe, pet safe, and plant safe. Their hardwax oil is also awarded the ECARF Seal for allergy-friendliness.

Our Commitment to Green Practices: A Range That Reflects Responsibility

At Superior Timber Coatings, we understand the profound impact that sustainable choices can have on both your immediate surroundings and the broader environment. Our range of coatings reflects this commitment to responsible practices. Take Ilva, for example – a brand that excels in sustainable manufacturing, ensuring that the production process minimizes its ecological footprint.  Oli Natura, another gem in our collection, focuses on  plant-based, solvent-free formulations with low VOC content. This translates to coatings that not only protect and enhance your timber but also promote a healthier living environment. The absence of harmful chemicals in Oli Natura coatings is a clear step towards a greener, more sustainable future.  Aqualis, our water-based, solvent-free decking range, takes the commitment to sustainability a step further. By opting for Aqualis coatings, you choose a product that aligns with your values of environmental stewardship. These coatings not only provide excellent protection for your timber assets but also contribute to the reduction of harmful emissions associated with traditional coatings.
