Specifiers seeking to certify an office or retail fit-out for sustainability best practice increasingly use the Ska Rating system operated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

To help specifiers streamline their product selection process and reduce research time the RICS is expanding its Ska Rating Product Compliance scheme. Individual products are assessed against Ska Rating criteria and, if approved, are certified to carry the Ska product compliance label.

Earthborn is pleased to confirm that it has achieved its first Ska compliance label with its Ecopro Matt Emulsion.

A high performance, environmentally sound alternative to conventional emulsions, Ecopro Matt has a unique formulation which is totally oil, acrylic and VOC free. This means it is not only eco friendly but also highly breathable and odour free.

Ecopro Matt Emulsion has excellent covering properties and dries to a durable, anti-static, matt finish. It is available in 12 classic shades and bespoke colours can be developed through the nationwide network of Earthborn stockists.

Earthborn Technical Sales Adviser Colin Jones said: “Ecopro Matt Emulsion passed the Ska tests with flying colours as it already holds the stringent EU Ecolabel, like many of our other paints.”
