"Color the city, color the world" 
As a leading company in architectural paints and coating, SKK (HK) Co Ltd is always keen to bring variegated appearance to every building for every city dweller, yet its mission is a lot more than this.
　
Say 'no' to harmful materials
SKK has been launching campaigns specified in environmental conservation all the way. The project of Manning House in Central District is a good example. Changing from mosaic tiled to sandstone clad outlook, not only could Manning House look more contemporary, it is also beneficial to our society in eco-terms. This project had taken the lead to choose "Granipierre" as the main material, which is made of recycling substances with re-processing into prefabricated sheet-form. The sheets of material are to be adhered on the wall surface directly, so that the cost of time, manpower and energy is then saved.
　Buildings covered with "Granipierre" would be resistant to weathering, mold and fungus, which made durability lengthened to more than 10 years. The application of "Granipierre" also reduces architectural waste in renovation. More important, the VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) content of "Granipierre" is 'zero', which implies zero unhealthy particles release, and it is definitely an environmental breakthrough in the industry.
　
Tie-in with private sectors
Throughout the years, SKK paints have become favorite choice of building developers. Hotel renovation ranging from Gold Coast Hotel in Tuen Mun, Marco Polo Prince Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui to Disneyland Hollywood Hotel in Chek Lap Kok are all outstanding jobs completed by SKK. Because of professional technical supporting, less construction garbage and minimization of domestic disturbance, SKK is being a perfect partners with different hotel groups. 
　Just take a closer look at Regal Oriental Hotel in Kowloon City, one of the four hotels done by SKK in Regal Group. The technique of applying paints directly on tile surface other than retiling or level up every single tile is a breakthrough in the industry. After renovation with special metallic coating, Regal Oriental's new outlook shines with modern and elegant taste.

Recognized by public bodies
Government projects are another area where SKK has great achievements. SKK has been co-operating with various government departments in new projects and renovation undertakings. The upcoming one is Yau Tong Phase 4 Commercial Complex, by which, it overwhelmingly reaches the standard of Building Environmental Assessment Method (BEAM) scheme, one of the most widely used assessment and labelling schemes for buildings in the world on a per capital basis. Under this assessment, SKK has been commended with significant selection of sustainable materials and preliminary eco-effective building plan for the benefit of the community. It is noticeable that SKK has gained widespread recognition in green building development.

Say 'HI' to a prettier world
"With good metering and new inventions in our work, environment conservation of buildings is highly ensured." Mr Kakuda Masakazu, Director of SKK (HK) said. Recently, Research & Development Centre of SKK germinates new eco-friendly products continuously, such as "Cool-tight" - a special heat-reflective coating, SKK has launched experiments on the Cool-tight with government bodies and academic institutions. Results revealed that interior temperature would be lowered by 0.5 to 2 degree C. So air-conditioning could then be less expensed, so as to minimize energy consumption, and the emission of carbon dioxide could be reduced.
　So What is expected next? Fresher air, clearer sky, healthier body and thus a prettier world is no
longer far away from us!
