A world leader in building envelope solutions, Tremco Construction Products Group (CPG) Asia Pacific (APAC), was recently granted the Singapore Green Label accreditation for its Dryvit product - Genesis® - as an “Environmentally Preferred Coating”.

The Green Label Singapore accreditation certifies that products with this mark generate significantly fewer undesirable effects on the environment. The accreditation is administered by the Singapore Environment Council (SEC) and is recognised as the region's most established eco-labelling scheme.

As part of Tremco CPG APAC’s building products range, the Dryvit brand provides exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS), anti-crack render systems and interior finishes.

The qualities of Dryvit EIFS solutions make them an excellent source of energy-efficiency, by insulating the outer layer of a building to manage internal room temperatures effectively. With the use of efficient modern materials and installation methods, Dryvit’s systems have continually proven to be a cost-effective build solution that will meet even the most stringent energy-related building regulations.

Dryvit Genesis® is Tremco CPG APAC’s latest Singapore Green Label accreditation, an addition to its LEED accreditation achieved years back in North America, reflecting the brand’s strong commitment to promoting sustainability and encouraging more R&D product lines for future generations. As of June 2021, Tremco CPG has a vast collection of global ‘Green or LEED certified’ products, ranging from resinous floor coatings to insulation EIFS systems, sealants, and waterproofing.

“Tremco CPG APAC aims to grow its portfolio of ‘green’ products to support the growing trend of sustainable building construction. The Dryvit Genesis® Singapore Green Label accreditation is another step in our responsible approach to promote sustainability in the building façade EIFS segment,” explained Shevonne Kok, Country Manager of Tremco CPG Singapore. 

She continued: “This can be achieved by combining the low VOC emission coating with the Dryvit Outsulation® EIFS technologies, driving energy efficiency. Its off-site fabrication ability also promotes human resource efficiency, improves quality control and increases speed of construction. This approach is crucial when considering the post-COVID19 construction landscape in our region.”

With more products attaining the foremost environmental standard and certification marks, Tremco CPG APAC offers architects and building developers more solutions to help design and build climate-resilient infrastructure that will achieve ‘Green’ accreditation.
