Aqualine Specified by Architects for Interior Joinery in Sustainable Residential Development
A leading design practice has specified Aqualine paint for interior wood surfaces in a multi-storey residential project
Including kitchens, bedrooms, and bespoke joinery, recommending it directly to the property developer. The choice reflects a shared commitment to durability, low maintenance, and high-quality interior finishes.
The project, targeting BREEAM “Excellent”, required materials that combine aesthetic quality with long-term performance. Aqualine was chosen for its resilience to everyday wear, smooth and consistent finish, and low-VOC formulation, supporting both sustainability and occupant health. Its application to kitchen units, bedroom furniture, and other internal joinery ensures surfaces remain pristine under frequent use, reducing the need for repairs or touch-ups over the building’s life.
“Interior finishes are a critical component of both resident satisfaction and long-term building performance,” said the lead architect. “We recommended Aqualine to the developer because it provides a reliable, high-quality solution that aligns with sustainability objectives and BREEAM requirements.”
The long-standing joinery partner overseeing the furniture and kitchen installation praised Aqualine’s ease of application and consistent coverage. Factory-finishing where possible, combined with on-site touch-ups, ensured a flawless finish and minimal disruption during installation.
In addition to enhancing durability and aesthetics, the product contributes to multiple BREEAM credits. Its low-VOC formulation supports indoor air quality, while responsible sourcing and sustainable manufacturing practices strengthen the project’s environmental credentials. The extended service life of coated joinery reduces long-term maintenance requirements, further aligning with BREEAM criteria.
This project represents a perfect route to market for Intercoat Industrial Paints, demonstrating how architects specifying trusted products to developers can drive adoption. With its innovative water-based range, Intercoat Industrial Paints continues to spearhead the coatings industry, delivering sustainable, high-performance solutions for interior joinery.
