Why we use water based paint for our kitchen cabinets

8th May 2025

Why we use water based paint for kitchen cabinets across our entire collection, for a finish that's durable, sustainable and easy to refresh.

When it comes to producing a timeless kitchen, colour choice is one of the most important decisions you can make. Colour plays a vital role, not only for the way it looks but in the longevity of the cabinetry and the quality of your environment, every detail matters to us at Minerva.

We use water based paint for kitchen cabinets across all of our collections because it reflects our commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship, it benefits both your home and the planet.

WHY WE CHOOSE WATER BASED PAINTS FOR OUR CABINETRY

We believe in creating kitchens that can stand the test of time in form and function and water based paint is central to that philosophy.

Unlike traditional solvent based options, water based paints emit fewer VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). That means they are safer for your home and family but also kinder to the environment, they allow the air to remain cleaner in your home especially in a room that is used constantly.

A FINISH THAT STANDS THE TEST OF TIME

The kitchen is an evolving part of your home and with life comes the occasional scuff or chip. Modern water based paints are highly durable, resistant to yellowing and less prone to cracking over time. With a soft sheen that enhances the character of the cabinetry that suits everything from deep tones to neutral hues.

Should you wish to repaint in years down the line, the finish makes giving your kitchen an upgrade nice and simple.
