How a Sprayer’s Suggestion Helped a Furniture Maker Rethink Their Paint Supplier

In a busy workshop where bespoke furniture is crafted daily, the in-house sprayer began raising concerns about the strong smells from the traditional paints and lacquers. While the results were always high-quality, working with heavy odours day in, day out wasn’t ideal — especially in a close-knit production space. He flagged this with the company’s procurement team, asking if they could look into alternatives that were better for the working environment, without affecting finish quality.

The procurement team took the feedback seriously. They knew any switch couldn’t come at the cost of performance or reliability. So, they started researching different suppliers and trying out various low-odour coatings from across the market.

Some were promising on paper but didn’t quite hold up in testing — whether due to inconsistent finish, long drying times, or supply issues.

Eventually, one name kept coming up: Intercoat Industrial Paints.

After a visit to the site and some in-depth product demos, the team tested Intercoat’s low-odour and water-based ranges. They were impressed not just with how clean the application process was, but also with how solid and smooth the finishes turned out. Even better, the transition to using the new products didn’t require big changes to their existing setup.

The sprayer immediately noticed the difference in the working atmosphere. The procurement team appreciated the responsiveness and technical backup from Intercoat. And the client base? Still just as impressed with the final product.

What made the difference?

  • Low-odour without compromising durability
  • Great finish on furniture-grade materials
  • Reliable supply and helpful technical support
  • Easier for sprayers to work with daily

The result:

The company has now made Intercoat its preferred supplier for low-odour finishes — proving that listening to the shop floor can lead to smarter, safer, and more sustainable decisions.
