A 2024 NEA study found formaldehyde levels in 90% of new condos exceed safety limits by 10x, primarily from low-quality adhesives and composite woods.
Read about a real testimonial to understand better:
Annabel Lee – A Real Story by HomeTrust: Annabel noticed headaches and allergies in her family after moving into a newly renovated flat. Air testing revealed unsafe VOC levels, traced back to new cabinets and flooring.
A 2024 study confirmed that formaldehyde levels in new homes often exceed safety limits by 10 times, with built-in carpentry and low-quality adhesives being the main sources.
Case Study: 92% VOC Reduction in Bukit Timah Luxury Condo
Maison Bleu specializes in VOC reduction Singapore – We applied non-toxic enzymatic sealants to existing surfaces.
This renovation with healthy home upgrades costs just 12% more upfront, but this is easily offset by potential savings of $30,000 to $45,000 SGD in medical expenses over the next decade.
| Pollutant | Pre-Renovation (New Condo) | Post-Maison Bleu Solution | NEA Safety Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Formaldehyde (HCHO) | 0.72 – 4.8 ppm | 0.03 – 0.05 ppm | < 0.08 ppm |
| Total VOCs (TVOC) | 1.5 – 3.0 ppm | 0.12 – 0.25 ppm (Well bellow limits) | < 1.0 ppm |
Key critical areas we found driving concerning results:
- Paints and Coatings: Conventional paints emit benzene and toluene which had an effect on the general air quality even after ventilation.
- Composite Wood: Plywood, MDF, and laminates used urea-formaldehyde resins which will be worst as the normally off-gassing for months after installation.
- Adhesives and Sealants: Flooring glues and silicone sealants contained xylene and ethylbenzene, contributing to indoor TVOC levels.
The truth: Singapore’s real estate market is one of the most competitive arenas in Asia, dominated by major developers and global brands vying to deliver the most attractive and “luxurious” products. Their goal: Create an image of “ultimate luxury” many times at the expense of quality, health and long-term value.
What we do different: Formaldehyde-free renovation
When possible, we source Green Label-certified materials with formaldehyde content <0.01% (meeting NEA’s 2026 standards). Our proprietary database identifies high-risk materials:
| Material | Average VOC Emission (ppm) | Maison Bleu Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Conventional Particleboard | 0.72–4.8 | EGGER E0 (<0.05 ppm) |
| Solvent-Based Adhesives | 1.2–3.5 | Sika Titanium Ultra (<0.3 ppm) |
| Oil-Based Paints | 0.9–2.1 | Nippon VOC-Free (<0.01 ppm) |

- Final Testing: Graywolf meter verification
This provides assurance that our mission is truly accomplished. When compared to the overall investment required for a renovation, the additional cost of testing is relatively minor-especially when weighed against the peace of mind it brings.
Prioritizing health today can lead to significant savings on future medical expenses, making it a wise and responsible choice for any homeowner.
