Ultra Low VOC Adhesives


We've made the switch. After testing various products, we've changed all of our deck and drywall adhesives to an Ultra Low VOC product. We've chosen OSI GreenSeries from Henkel. It has a VOC content of 3 g/L. (as a comparison, the USGBC LEED for Homes Rating System allows VOC content up to 50 g/L for these types of adhesives.) The OSI GreenSeries is considered an Ultra Low VOC product.

We're still on the hunt for a Low or No VOC paint. We do offer Benjamin Moore Eco Spec Paints as an option, but we're not yet satisfied with the application and coverage to offer it as standard specification.
