Paints & Product
Does paints contain formaldehyde?
Formaldehyde is traditionally used in paints as a preservative to inhibit microbial growth and enhance the durability and adhesion of the paint. However, due to the potential health risks associated with formaldehyde exposure, including respiratory issues and allergic reactions, we at Alora Paints prioritize your health and safety. We have committed to providing high-quality, non-toxic paint solutions that do not contain formaldehyde. Our innovative formulations ensure long-lasting durability and excellent performance without compromising the safety of your indoor environment. Choose Alora Paints for a healthier home and peace of mind.
Has Alora Paints ever used formaldehyde in its products?
Since the inception of Alora Paints, we have steadfastly committed to producing paints without the use of formaldehyde. Understanding the potential health risks associated with formaldehyde exposure, we made a conscious decision to never include it in our formulas. Our commitment to your health and safety is paramount, and we pride ourselves on offering superior paint products that are not only effective and long-lasting but also completely safe for you and your family. With Alora Paints, you can trust that our products have always been free of formaldehyde, ensuring a healthier environment in your home.
Can I order samples of Alora paint?
Sampling paint colours has never been so simple! We ship removable, true-colour sample swatches made with actual Alora paint. That means your samples will match the exact colour in each paint can, without the waste of paint chips or trial-sized cans.
If you’d like to try colours on a larger area, you can order multiple sample swatches or purchase our paint in one-litre cans.
How do Alora’s sample swatches work?
Order as many sample swatches as you'd like to test, and we'll ship them directly to your door with free delivery. Then, simply peel and stick! You can wrap the swatches around corners, test shades on several walls, or see how colours look in different light.
Our sample swatches are removable, so there's no mess to clean up. And, they're made with real Alora paint. Instead of guessing at small paint chips printed in imprecise colours, you'll preview the exact shade and texture of your final order.
