AQUALINE FOR INTERIOR JOINERY BREEAM RESIDENTIAL PROJECT 

A multi-storey residential development required interior wood finishes for kitchens, bedrooms, and bespoke joinery that met BREEAM “Excellent” standards. Architects specified Aqualine directly to the property developer, recognising the importance of durability, aesthetics, and sustainability.

The Challenge

The project demanded finishes that:

• Withstand everyday use in high-traffic residential interiors
• Maintain visual quality over time
• Support sustainability and low-VOC requirements for BREEAM compliance

The Solution

• Aqualine, Intercoat Industrial Paints’ innovative water-based wood paint, was applied to all internal joinery. Benefits included:
• Long-lasting, resilient finishes for kitchens and bedroom furniture
• Low maintenance and easy cleaning for residents
• Smooth, consistent aesthetic for bespoke joinery
• Low-VOC formulation supporting indoor air quality credits

Results

• Supported multiple BREEAM credits for durability, material health, and responsible sourcing
• Reduced long-term maintenance costs
• Delivered a high-quality, sustainable finish that satisfied architects, developers, and residents
