Where we checked it: coatpaints.com ›

Why we picked it

Swapping oil-based trim paint for a water-based eggshell is one of the biggest VOC cuts in a decorating job: UK rules allow up to 300 g/L for solvent trim paint versus COAT’s stated under 30 g/L.

Best for

Skirting, doors, cot-room furniture and radiators, replacing solvent-based gloss

Not for

Walls (COAT recommends its matt or soft sheen there)

The details that matter.

  • • Under 30 g/L VOC
  • • For wood and metal
  • • French A+ emissions class
