Specifiers and Architects

SPECIFICATIONS MADE EASY

Thousands of paint products go into a building project, each one playing an essential role. Whether the project requires aesthetics, protection against environmental elements or sustainability benefits, there is a Wattyl paint technology that will do just that and more.

MARKET SOLUTIONS

Wattyl operates across a wide range of industries providing tailor-made paint and coatings solutions for each market’s specific needs. We understand that each market is unique and we work closely with our clients, approaching our work with a focus on quality and reliability. Wattyl proudly provides complete solutions for the Commercial, Multi-Residential, Health and Education, including commercial repaint sector.

LOW VOC TECHNOLOGY

VOCs are found in many building materials and are partially responsible for that new paint smell, but these chemicals can let off gasses that may be harmful to people and the environment. External bodies such as the “Green Building Council of Australia” (GBCA) established “Green Star” Industry Standards in order to control the level of VOC solvents that can be incorporated into various paints during manufacture. At Wattyl, our products are designed to not only adhere to Green Star building standards, but in many cases exceeding the minimum requirements.

WHERE IS PAINT SPECIFIED?

Everywhere you look there is paint. Our innovative products might be on your office walls, the floor you walk on, your local carpark, the fixtures in your local supermarket, or on the colourful urban architecture around you. But choosing a paint that doesn’t perform well for a specific application can lead to costly mistakes, angry clients and a damaged reputation. That’s why it’s important for specifiers and designers to understand the different features, benefits and limitations of different paints and coatings and to be actively involved in the specifying process.

WATTYL COLOUR TRENDS 2020

Craft, technology and wellness intersect. Sensorial tactility will be at the core of living spaces, with an emphasis on calm and inclusive designs. Simplicity will be celebrated in both aesthetics and constructions, in line with a growing urge for products that feel more honest and thoughtful. Minimalism will continue to flourish through the use of colour and tactility and design instils emotion.
