Supporting sustainable construction projects
At the heart of every modern building or infrastructure project is the drive to make them as sustainable as possible, using materials that have a minimum impact on the environment.
By collaborating with us as technical partners at the start of your project, we can help you identify products with sustainability advantages for corrosion, fire protection, and high performance flooring.
Our independently-verified products are specifically designed to help you secure green building credits for LEED, BREEAM and many other green certification programmes.
Also, our Environmental Product Declarations are there to help you understand the impact our products have on the environment, while our cradle-to-grave Life Cycle Assessments explain the journey our products take from the choice of source materials and their production through to application, usage and eventual end-of-life disposal.

Our Services
With our vast array of sustainably advantaged solutions, we want you to make the right choices and know how to apply our products correctly - to ensure long term effectiveness and durability. Here’s why we’re a tried and tested supplier:
- Long track record of supporting architects and owners on green build projects
- Quick customised carbon-equivalent estimations
- Independently verified EPDs
- Emission testing
- LEED and BREEAM product attestations
- In-house sustainability expertise to guide on product choice
- Expert team of multi-disciplinary engineers providing engineering support
Our Technical Services Team and Fire Engineering and Estimating Team (FEET) can help your find the right product and, for passive fire protection, build in the correct film thickness at your structural engineering design stage.
Sustainability by design
We want sustainability to be at the forefront of our considerations with every new product and innovation, wherever possible.
By adopting a sustainability mindset at the outset and a fully inter-departmental approach, we’re addressing every aspect of our processes, from raw material sourcing and usage to formulations, durability and product differentiation in the marketplace - while ensuring that our products meet their performance objectives.
Fewer coats, improved application techniques, reduced dry spray, longer-lasting products and fewer maintenance intervals mean less product usage.
Implemented the Sustainability by Design programme across the enterprise, serving as our proactive, foundational process to aid the growth of our 'sustainability advantaged products' portfolio.
Established a baseline for 'sustainably advantaged products' and developed a plan for expanding this product portfolio in the future.
Developed a structured process for measuring and accessing Scope 3 emissions.
RIBA Sustainability CPDs
Our close collaboration with the design community has enabled us to formulate products that balance performance with the growing drive towards sustainability.
To help you understand their features and benefits, we’ve developed a programme of CPD webinars covering:
- The role of intumescent paints in contributing to sustainable building design
- How life cycle assessment and environmental product declarations relate to leading green building standards
- How our seamless resin flooring systems provide hygienic, durable solutions that meet HACCP International standards
- How to engineer sustainability in building design fire protection through material choice, carbon consideration and collaborative design. IMF-accredited.
