FAQs

• What types of coatings does ECOTONE offer?
  ECOTONE provides architectural finishes, colour matching solutions, and protective coatings including emulsion stains, sealants, primers, and waterproof and weatherproof systems designed to enhance, restore, and protect building surfaces with long lasting, low VOC performance.
• How are ECOTONE coatings different from standard paint?
  Standard paint is a surface-level decorative layer. ECOTONE coatings are multi-layered systems that penetrate and bond with the substrate, delivering deeper texture, stronger adhesion, and long-term durability. Designed for harsh conditions, they offer advanced protection and can last up to 25 years when properly applied.
• How are ECOTONE coatings applied, and do I need a specialist applicator?
  ECOTONE coating systems are specified for application by approved applicators trained in our products and processes, ensuring consistent quality and eligibility for the 25-year warranty.
  Many projects are delivered as custom building finishes, with ECOTONE working directly with architects, builders, and precast partners to achieve the design intent. For new projects or pricing, contact your local ECOTONE office or submit a Project Enquiry.
• What substrates and building materials are ECOTONE coating compatible with?
  ECOTONE coatings are compatible with a wide range of building materials such as concrete, brick, block, mortar, fibre cement and plasterboard.
  Each substrate needs the right preparation and, where required, a suitable primer. Technical data sheets and other resources are available to help select the correct ECOTONE products for your project.
• How does ECOTONE approach environmental sustainability in its products?
  Sustainability at ECOTONE is driven by how surfaces are designed, applied and maintained over time. Our coating systems reduce material use, extend building life and minimise environmental impact across the built environment.
