Embrace Sustainability with Cabot’s Home Maintenance Products
Timber, with its timeless appeal and natural beauty, is a popular choice for many homeowners. Whether it's wooden flooring, decks, furniture, or structural elements, timber requires proper maintenance to keep it looking great and structurally sound. Fortunately, eco-friendly products designed for timber maintenance offer numerous advantages that go beyond aesthetics. In this article, we'll explore the benefits of using eco-friendly products for home timber maintenance.
Environmentally Conscious
One of the most compelling reasons to opt for eco-friendly timber maintenance products is the positive impact on the environment. Eco-friendly products are crafted with sustainable, biodegradable, and non-toxic ingredients, minimising environmental harm.
Healthier Living Spaces
Eco-friendly timber maintenance products are typically formulated to be low in “Volatile Organic Compounds” (VOCs), promoting better indoor air quality and a healthier living environment for you and your family.
Cabot’s products are licensed with Eco Choice Aotearoa, a Type 1 eco-labeling company with regulations administered by the New Zealand eco-labeling trust to certify products that adhere to up-to-date standards for environmental compliance in business. These products have undergone independent verification, confirming low VOC levels.

Prolongs the Lifespan of Timber
Eco-friendly products for timber maintenance, are designed to protect wood from environmental stressors, including UV rays and moisture. This can extend the lifespan of your timber surfaces and structures, reducing the need for frequent replacements or repairs, which can be both costly and resource-intensive.
Sustainable Packaging and Manufacturing
Many eco-friendly products are packaged in containers made from recycled or recyclable materials. The manufacturers of these products also tend to prioritise sustainable and ethical practices, contributing to a more responsible approach to production and packaging. Cabot’s leftover product and packaging can be returned to any Dulux Trade Centre or Guthrie Brown Store across New Zealand. Through Dulux’s Paint Take-Back Service, we recycle, reuse or dispose of your leftover product in an environmentally friendly manner.
