Low-VOC paint was another green alternative specified for the Lite-House. Resene low-VOC paints were specified for both the exterior and the interior, and were a contributing factor in the house winning several awards, including the Resene Supreme Award at the ADNZ/Resene 2010 National Design Awards.

Exterior paints include Resene Lumbersider, tinted to Resene Lite-House Special, a silver colour that was custom mixed for the project. Resene Lumbersider is an Environmental Choice-approved paint based on a tough 100% acrylic resin, for maximum durability.

Timber walls were stained in waterborne Resene Woodsman, an Environmental Choice-approved wood stain that highlights the grain.

The interior walls were painted in Resene Zylone Sheen VOC Free, a waterborne, low-odour, Environmental Choice-approved paint that provides a durable, washable finish. The paint was tinted to Resene Black White, from The Range Whites & Neutrals colour fandeck.
