ITSustainable renovation: performance and environmental responsibility with the EKO’R range
With the fight against climate change and the energy transition now priorities, sustainable renovation has become a fundamental lever. The building sector alone accounts for more than 40 % of global energy consumption and close to 25 % of greenhouse gas emissions. To meet the requirements of Part L of the Building Regulations, the Future Homes Standard and the UK’s legally binding net zero target for 2050, renovation has to be approached as a whole, combining energy efficiency, respect for materials and environmental responsibility. Choosing sustainable building materials and treatments is part of that approach.
At SCALP, this vision takes the form of the EKO’R range, a line of innovative products designed to support professionals at every stage of a renovation project: cleaning, stripping, protection. What they have in common? Formulations with a reduced environmental impact, free from harmful solvents and VOCs, effective and compatible with all types of substrate, old or new.
Cleaning with a lower environmental impact
Durant une rénovation, le nettoyage des supports permet de révéler l’état réel des matériaux, de garantir l’adhérence des traitements futurs, et d’assurer la longévité des revêtements. Cependant, cette phase est souvent réalisée à l’aide de produits chimiques agressifs, riches en solvants, qui peuvent nuire à l’environnement.
Avec la gamme EKO’R, SCALP propose une alternative innovante et durable : des solutions de nettoyage écologiques, respectueuses des surfaces, et performantes, même sur les supports les plus délicats.
