Frequently asked questions
Milieu paint emit exceptionally low levels of VOC emissions. The paint contain only trace amounts of preservatives (only in the pigment). This means that the colors suit everyone, even the most sensitive. Milieu has been certified by the Allergy, Skin and Asthma Association and awarded the allergy label.
One 4 litre pot of Milieu paint covers 30–40m² (one coat). You can also use our paint calculator to count how much paint you need for your project. You'll find the paint calculator by clicking any shade on our colour chart.
Milieu paint is suitable for board, wallpaper, plaster, and concrete surfaces.
Can I paint mouldings and doors with Milieu paint?
Yes you can, as Milieu paint is also suitable for wooden surfaces.
The Milieu shades are designed to match our existing kitchen, wardrobe, and sideboard colours. However, the colours are never an exact match because the gloss level of Milieu paints and paint used for our kitchens and storage units is different. Also, the painting technique and surfaces are different, which affects the finish.
Milieu paints are manufactured using an innovative method where, instead of adding preservatives, the paint is preserved by using a precise formula and a natural preservation process. Only the colour pigments contain trace amounts of preservatives. This is also one of the reasons why Milieu's VOC level is exceptionally low.
