coverage is easily achievable over pale to mid colours with STD MATT, CHALKY MATT, MARBLE MATT, COVER-UP MATT, DISTEMPER & CLAYPAINT - but may not include strong vibrant colours β like acid yellow, tango, lime etc. So why bother with One Coat? = Easy - because its Half the time

Lakeland Paints - the Facts
Why buy Ecos Organic Paint - as opposed to any other environmentally friendly paint ?
Because other paint is just LOW VOC - maybe 1-2% VOC β with harmful, smelly VOCs, solvents & chemicals - just with different branding & usually made by just two or three big EU producers with NO USP β Yes - NO Unique Selling Point. But Lakeland Paint is at least 7000x Purer than this β and often 12,000x purer ! Ecos is Super Breathable and uses 3x as much pigment as most others - 24% -v- 8% - meaning that often you can finish that job with just One Coat of our Eco Friendly non toxic paint. All are totally VOC-Free, Solvent Free and Non-yellowing β Forever!
Other paint brands = Read their claims carefully and youβll see that other brands are surprisingly unremarkable - (with No USP) and this is why the new ones arrive in a flurry of press-releases, fizzle out and die β because they have nothing new to offer.
Lakeland Paints are unique, with 0.0% VOC and are now in our 32nd year, selling to 72 countries β but like other top brands, Quality never comes cheap β it canβt. And this is often how you can spot a brand in trouble - when you see it on supermarket shelves - because it costs ~50% just to be there β so guess how they make up that 50% loss?

So What are Breathable paints
Nominally, Breathable paint has an Sd of <0.1. All Lakeland Paints are Super Breathable paint anyway β we donβt specifically engineer them to be that way, they just ARE breathable paints. All Breathable Paint is rated by its Sd value (Steam Diffusion value) or MVT and a breathable paint is one that lets moisture to get through it quickly - so a lower Sd means a more breathable paint. Standard paints meanwhile are often higher than Sd3.0 = not great ! Breathable Paint with an Sd of 0.1 or less is a good breathable paint suitable for all purposes.
