GLOSSARY TERM

High-Volume Low-Pressure (HVLP) Sprayer

A type of paint sprayer that uses low pressure to atomise paint, reducing overspray and waste.

INFO

What it is

An HVLP sprayer uses a high volume of air at low pressure to atomise paint. The gentler air pressure produces a soft, controllable spray pattern with less bounce-back.

Why it matters

Lower pressure means less overspray and waste, and better control for detailed or fine work. It transfers more of the paint onto the surface, which is efficient and cleaner.

Where it is used on a project

Well suited to fine and detailed work such as windows, doors, furniture, and joinery, where control and finish quality matter more than raw speed.

How NECC approaches it

We choose between HVLP and airless equipment to suit each task, using HVLP for fine, controlled work to achieve a high-quality finish with minimal overspray.
