Intercoat Paints: British-Made, Environmentally Driven, Industry Ready
Intercoat Paints has been a cornerstone of the UK wood finishes industry since 1974, specialising in advanced finishing systems for timber-based interiors and joinery. Developed entirely in the UK, their paints and lacquers are trusted by manufacturers across the furniture, retail, construction, and bespoke cabinetry sectors. Whether you're finishing kitchen cabinets, interior doors, or commercial fit-outs, Intercoat’s coatings deliver superior application consistency and lasting performance across a variety of timber substrates.
The company’s ongoing commitment to reducing environmental impact has led to the growth of its water-based and solvent-free product lines, supported by major investment in UK-based R&D. This means users benefit from finishes that comply with modern eco-standards while still achieving excellent clarity, build, and durability. Their Aqualine and EnviroLa/c brands are especially popular for users seeking low-VOC options that are fast-drying and compatible with modern spray systems and application methods.
Intercoat's wide-ranging catalogue includes pre-catalysed and acid-catalysed finishes for traditional applications, as well as advanced UV-curable systems for high-speed production lines. The result is one of the most versatile offerings on the UK market, meeting the varied demands of manufacturers working on everything from shopfittings and bathroom furniture to wood flooring and caskets. Intercoat continues to lead with innovation, delivering reliable, high-quality coatings designed to adapt to evolving technical requirements and customer expectations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Intercoat finishes suitable for use on kitchen and bathroom furniture?
Yes, Intercoat produces coatings that are moisture-resistant and durable enough for kitchen and bathroom environments. These products are designed to withstand fluctuations in humidity and routine cleaning, making them ideal for cabinetry, shelving, and doors used in domestic or commercial wet areas.
What’s the difference between pre-catalysed and acid-catalysed coatings?
Pre-catalysed coatings contain a built-in hardener and offer a good balance of durability and ease of use, making them ideal for general-purpose wood finishing. Acid-catalysed coatings, on the other hand, require mixing with a separate catalyst and offer superior hardness and chemical resistance. They are better suited for high-wear or moisture-prone areas where long-term resilience is essential.
Are water-based finishes as durable as solvent-based ones?
Modern water-based finishes have made significant advancements and now offer durability and clarity comparable to many traditional solvent-based coatings. They’re also safer to apply, emit fewer VOCs, and meet stricter environmental regulations. For many interior wood applications, water-based products from Intercoat perform to an excellent standard.
Do Intercoat’s UV-curable coatings require specialist equipment?
Yes, UV-curable coatings are designed for production lines equipped with UV lamps that cure the coating instantly upon exposure. These systems are ideal for high-speed throughput and consistent finish quality. They are commonly used by manufacturers seeking efficiency, reduced downtime, and enhanced coating durability.
Can Intercoat coatings be colour matched?
Intercoat offers colour-tinting options across many of their product lines. This enables customers to match existing finishes or create custom tones for bespoke projects. Availability and turnaround may vary depending on the product type, so it’s best to consult Rawlins Paints for assistance on colour matching options.
