As the world gravitates toward sustainability and smarter living, the construction industry is experiencing a transformation that is powerful, yet silent. One of the most significant changes is the move toward low VOC materials, a change that is not just technical, but deeply human. At Achyut Group, we are not just building homes; we are creating lifestyles that respect people and the planet. Therefore, the materials we select say a lot about the kind of future we are helping to create.
What Are VOC Materials?
VOCs or Volatile Organic Compounds, are a collection of chemicals that can be found in almost every building product, including paints, adhesives, flooring, sealants and composite wood. VOCs evaporate, releasing gasses into the air through a process called off-gassing and this can continue long after construction or renovation is completed.
Although gasses are invisible, their effect is not; they contribute to indoor air pollution. Some of the short-term concerns associated with VOCs generally affect people while they are in the building (e.g., headaches, dizziness and respiratory irritation). Long-term health concerns related to VOC exposures have also been reported and are especially concerning for children and older adults. Knowing that city residents often spend more than 90% of their time indoors, ensuring healthier indoor air is more important than ever.
Why Low VOC Materials Matter
At Achyut Group, we view low VOC materials as essential to what we call “future-ready living.” These materials release fewer pollutants, resulting in better indoor air quality and safer environments.
By integrating low VOC paints, flooring and sealants, we ensure that our residents breathe cleaner air from day one. There’s no strong chemical odour lingering in the newly handed-over flats. No invisible fumes to trigger allergies. Just a fresh, breathable start.
This aligns with our long-term vision: to build homes that prioritise not only comfort and luxury but also the health and well-being of those who live in them.
Green Building Is the Future
The use of green building materials is steadily becoming a norm across responsible developments in India. Low VOC products fall squarely into this category. These materials are often derived from sustainable sources, are non-toxic and are designed with environmental responsibility in mind.
More importantly, green materials support India’s mission toward carbon reduction and align with global certifications like IGBC and LEED. At Achyut Group, we see this as an ethical obligation, not just a value-add. Our commitment to environmentally conscious development drives us to explore and adopt solutions that go beyond aesthetics or short-term gains.
Whether it’s in the paints we use, the adhesives that bind or the finishes we choose, low VOC alternatives are considered at every layer of construction and design. It’s not about jumping on the green bandwagon—it’s about steering it forward.
Performance Without Compromise
A common myth in the market is that low VOC materials are inferior in terms of performance or longevity. But the truth is quite the opposite. Advances in construction science have brought us materials that are both low-emission and high-performance.
These materials are durable, easy to maintain and aesthetically pleasing. In fact, many modern energy-efficient materials—such as low VOC paints with heat-reflective properties—serve dual functions. They not only improve indoor air but also regulate indoor temperatures, thereby reducing the need for artificial cooling or heating.
Incorporating these materials has helped us make our homes not just more liveable, but smarter. The result? Lower electricity bills for our residents and a lighter carbon footprint for the environment.
Educated Homebuyers Demand Better
Today’s homebuyers are better informed than ever before. They read labels, ask questions and demand homes that are safe, sustainable and built with care. They are no longer impressed by shiny finishes alone. They want to know what’s behind the walls, what’s in the paint and what kind of air they’ll be breathing.
We at Achyut Group welcome this change. Transparency is a key part of our brand promise. Our team is trained to guide customers through the materials used and our marketing communications actively talk about VOC content, sustainability features and responsible practices.
This customer-first approach has helped us foster deeper trust and a stronger reputation in the market—something we value more than any award or recognition.
Building Homes That Breathe
Our goal has always been to go beyond construction. We aim to create environments that nurture families, foster peace of mind and contribute to a greener planet. Choosing low VOC materials is a step in that direction. It’s a choice we make daily, not because regulations demand it, but because our conscience does.
Conclusion
In an age where sustainability and well-being are at the forefront of every conversation, choosing the right materials is no longer optional—it’s essential. At Achyut Group, we build homes that stand tall in strength, purpose and ethics. By consciously selecting VOC materials that meet the highest safety and sustainability standards, we ensure that our homes are as healthy as they are beautiful.
