EDITOR ' S CHOICE

A luxury housing development in the Weald of Kent represents its builders ’ deepening commitment to sustainability .

Jarvis Homes , a family company for more than 250 years , is on a mission to improve the sustainability of its building processes so specified Earthborn breathable paints at Chequers Green , a development of four and five bedroom detached houses near Ashford .

Russell Jarvis , company director , said “ We switched to Earthborn as part of a drive to make our houses healthier to live in and more environmentally friendly . Their paints do just that because they are made without oils or acrylics , which means they are virtually VOC free and do not give off any harmful emissions . It enables newly decorated rooms to be occupied quickly because there is no worry about emissions or odours .”

Beautiful , hard wearing and virtually VOC free

“ At Chequers Green we opted for Earthborn Emulsion for all walls and ceilings , applying it onto gypsum plaster , and we used Eggshell for the woodwork .”

Earthborn Lifestyle Emulsion has a hardwearing , classic low sheen finish . Being durable and washable , it is perfect for busier areas in the home .

Earthborn Eggshell is water based and dries quickly to an attractive silk sheen , providing durability , washability and scuff resistance .

Both products are available in Earthborn ' s signature colour palette of 72 colours plus white and the 12 Modern Country Colours developed in partnership with Country Homes & Interiors .
