Singapore’s tropical climate and stringent green building codes have propelled eco-friendly paint finishes to the forefront of interior design. With the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) mandating zero-VOC formulations and residents prioritizing health-conscious living, homeowners seek finishes that balance aesthetics, durability, and environmental responsibility. Rising humidity, mold risks, and energy efficiency concerns drive demand for paints that protect both occupants and ecosystems. MRETTY’s innovative approach integrates cutting-edge materials, biodegradable pigments, and smart application techniques to deliver solutions tailored to Singapore’s unique climate and cultural ethos.
Why Eco-Friendly Paint Finishes Matter in Singapore
Singapore’s green certifications (BCA Green Mark) and urban density create unique challenges:
-
Zero-VOC compliance: Eliminate harmful emissions in confined spaces.
-
Anti-microbial properties: Prevent mold growth in humid environments.
-
Thermal regulation: Reflect heat to reduce cooling energy use.
MRETTY’s finishes achieve 99% formaldehyde reduction through FSC-certified processes, validated by SGS Singapore.
