Over the past two decades, there's been a growing awareness of the harmful effects of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on the environment and human health. VOCs, commonly found in solvent-based paints and coatings, are toxic pollutants that contribute to air pollution and can have long-term health consequences. In response, government regulations have focused on reducing VOC emissions, prompting many industries, including ours, to seek greener alternatives.
At Minerva, we've embraced a more sustainable approach by using only water-based paints and finishes for all our kitchens. These paints are safer for you and the environment and offer several practical advantages that align with our promise of delivering high-quality, long-lasting kitchens.
Why Water-Based Paints Are a Smarter Choice
Water-based paints emit significantly fewer VOCs than their solvent-based counterparts, making them a healthier option for indoor air quality and the planet. But the benefits don't stop there.
These paints are also incredibly durable, offering long-lasting protection for your kitchen cabinetry. This durability is a key factor in allowing us to confidently provide a 15-year guarantee on your kitchen—a testament to the quality and resilience of our products.
In addition to being eco-friendly, water-based paints are easier to work with when it comes to maintenance. Life happens, and even the best kitchens can experience the occasional scratch or scuff. That's why, when your kitchen is complete, we provide you with a "Care and Maintenance" guide and a small pot of touch-up paint that perfectly matches your cabinetry. Should any minor damage occur, you'll have everything you need to restore your kitchen to its original condition in no time.
A Sustainable Kitchen for the Long Term
One of the standout features of water-based paints is their versatility over time. Not only do they make touch-ups a breeze, but they also simplify the process of repainting your kitchen down the road. If you decide it's time for a refresh ten years from now, the original water-based paint ensures the transition is easy and hassle-free. You won't need to replace your kitchen or undergo a complex renovation—just a fresh coat of paint, and your kitchen will look as good as new.
This ease of repainting is a key reason why our kitchens are a sustainable, long-term investment. By making it simple to change colours without replacing cabinetry, we help reduce waste, conserve materials, and offer you the flexibility to adapt your space as your style evolves.
Our commitment to using water-based paints is part of a broader sustainability journey at Minerva. We believe that creating high-quality, long-lasting kitchens shouldn't come at the expense of the environment. By choosing greener materials, we're able to deliver kitchens that not only meet your functional and aesthetic needs but also contribute to a healthier planet.
In the end, choosing a Minerva kitchen means making a choice that is good for you, your home, and the environment. With our eco-friendly, durable, and easy-to-maintain water-based paints, you'll enjoy a kitchen that stands the test of time.
