Common Questions
Common questions about eco-friendly painting and the Resene Eco.Decorator programme.
What is a Resene Eco Decorator?
A Resene Eco Decorator is a painting contractor certified by Resene to meet strict environmental standards for sustainable practices, waste management, low-VOC product use, and ongoing eco-training. Wellington Decorators has earned this certification through our commitment to environmentally responsible painting across the Wellington region.
What eco-friendly paints do you use?
We primarily use Resene Environmental Choice paints, which carry New Zealand's official environmental label (Environmental Choice NZ). We also use Dulux low-VOC products where appropriate. All products are selected for their low environmental impact, durability, and performance in Wellington's demanding climate.
Are low-VOC paints safe for families?
Yes. Low-VOC paints have minimal odour and significantly fewer harmful chemicals compared to traditional paints. Rooms can typically be used within hours of painting, making them ideal for nurseries, bedrooms, and homes with young children, elderly family members, or pets.
What environmental certifications do you hold?
Wellington Decorators holds Resene Eco.Decorator certification and is a Registered Master Painters company. We use products carrying Environmental Choice NZ certification — New Zealand's official environmental label — and follow sustainable waste management practices across all projects.
Do eco-friendly paints last as long as regular paints?
Yes. Modern low-VOC paints from Resene and Dulux perform as well or better than traditional paints. They provide excellent coverage, colour retention, and durability while significantly reducing harmful emissions during and after application. There is no compromise on longevity or finish quality.
How does Resene Eco Decorator certification benefit homeowners?
Homeowners benefit from better indoor air quality through low-VOC products, responsible waste disposal that protects local waterways, certified sustainable practices, and the assurance that their painting project minimises environmental impact without compromising on quality or durability.
What is the Environmental Choice NZ certification?
Environmental Choice NZ is New Zealand's official ecolabel, administered by the New Zealand Ecolabelling Trust. Products carrying this label meet strict environmental performance standards across their lifecycle, including lower VOC content, reduced environmental impact during manufacture, and responsible end-of-life disposal.
Do you recycle paint waste?
Yes. We follow Resene's paint recovery programme — unused paint is returned to Resene for recycling rather than going to landfill. Drop cloths, rollers, and other materials are disposed of responsibly. We never wash paint into stormwater drains, protecting Wellington's harbours and waterways.
