What Are The Key Environmental Arguments Of Tikkurila Interior Products?Updated 2 years ago

Water-based paints are low-emission paints that ensure better indoor air quality and smaller health risks.

What is more, water-based paints are nearly odourless, which means that it is safe to be in the painted room soon after painting.

Water-based paints are proven to be safe, and using them is easy, as they dry fast and the painting tools can be washed with water breathability. The higher the water vapour permeability of the product, the more breathable it is.

Tikkurila interior products are breathable.

High-quality raw materials

All Tikkurila products are made from high-quality raw materials. We always select raw materials which have the least possible impact on the environment. Our raw materials and raw materials suppliers are carefully selected, and we aim to ensure that the operations of our suppliers are responsible.

Certified operations

Nearly all Tikkurila production facilities are certified either in accordance with the environmental, quality and/or occupational health and safety management system standards. 

Eco-labelled products

Several hundred Tikkurila Group products have been eco-labelled. The Nordic ecolabel, the Swan, is a testimony to the proven safety and environmental effects of the product. What is more, a Swan-labeled product is durable. Its technical qualities—such as adhesion, wear resistance, and hiding power have been tested and verified. The M1 certification granted to products by the Finnish Building Information Foundation guarantees low emissions. The products that have been granted the allergy label by the Finnish Allergy and Asthma Federation meet stringent product-specific criteria and do not contain fragrances, irritants, and other allergy-causing agents.
