Meet Green Compliance with Ultra Premium Paints

Meet Green Compliance with Ultra Premium Paints

Education Paint

In commercial painting, getting the finish right is only part of the equation. Today’s clients and specifiers expect more, from the durability of the product to its compliance with health and environmental standards. For trade professionals, that means being ready with solutions that look good and satisfy the growing list of requirements on modern building projects.

Haymes Paint has been crafting premium paints in Australia since 1935. Still family-owned and locally made, we understand that trade professionals need compliant products that perform under pressure. That’s why our Ultra Premium range includes Global GreenTag™ Certified paints. Built for commercial environments, backed by third-party certifications.

Why Compliance is Now Part of Every Project

Price, coverage, and durability still matter. But increasingly, so do compliance credentials. Whether it’s a Green Star-rated education build, a hospital refurbishment, or a government tender, you’re more likely to see environmental certifications listed as part of the spec.

Trade professionals often find themselves answering questions about VOCs, paint toxicity, or whether a product contributes points to Green Star or WELL building standards. And if your quote can’t meet those requirements, or your supplier doesn’t offer certified paints, you may not even make the shortlist.

What GreenTag Certification Really Means

GreenTag is one of the most recognised product certification systems in Australia. It’s independent, rigorous, and built to help professionals choose materials that are safer for people and the environment. GreenTag Certified products have been assessed for:

  • VOC emissions and indoor air quality
  • Material health and chemical safety
  • Lifecycle impact, from raw materials to disposal
  • Manufacturing transparency

GreenTag certification provides verified documentation. It’s also recognised under Green Star, WELL, and LEED frameworks, making it easier to align your product choices with the compliance demands of your clients or certifiers.

Ultra Premium Range is Made for Compliance

Haymes Paint will soon offer a complete certified paint system under the Ultra Premium range, allowing you to meet compliance without needing to managing suppliers or compromising performance.

Each product is designed for high-demand commercial spaces and is supported by the documentation needed for specification and tendering.

Expressions® Interior Matt, Low Sheen & Semi Gloss

A highly durable, washable interior paint ideal for wet areas. It delivers excellent coverage and stain resistance with no lingering odour. Backed by a 7-year mould and mildew protection guarantee, it’s perfect for healthcare, education and residential environments.

Ultratrim® Acrylic Enamel High Gloss & Semi Gloss

Offers the durability of an enamel with the benefits of a water-based acrylic. Ideal for trims, doors, architraves and even exterior aluminium or timber surfaces. It dries quickly, doesn’t yellow and is easy to clean up.

Ultraseal® Acrylic Sealer Undercoat

Designed for broad wall applications and ideal for sealing new plasterboard. Suitable for both interior and exterior use, and can be top coated with water-based or oil-based finishes.

Common Questions and Answers

“Don’t certified paint costs more?” While the up-front cost may be slightly higher, Expressions® Interior and Ultratrim® reduce labour time with better coverage and faster drying. Their durability means fewer touch-ups and long-term savings.

“Do GreenTag paints perform?” Haymes Paint products have been developed and tested in real commercial environments to deliver performance equal to or better than their non-certified counterparts.

“Do I need GreenTag Certified paint for every project?” Not always, but demand is rising. Using certified products simplifies compliance, aligns with tender requirements, and strengthens your proposal.

Committed to the Future of Responsible Specification

Our commitment doesn’t stop at product formulation. In 2026, Haymes Paint will begin transitioning 10L and 15L Ultra Premium packaging to 50% recycled plastic pails. This supports broader goals of material stewardship without affecting product performance.

It’s a step towards responsible specification and innovative ways to reduce our environmental impact. Learn more about our sustainability efforts.
