In the wild
Where Vernites finishes end up
Real UK jobs finished in Vernites, straight from the spray shops that use it every day.
Included with your trial tin
The three extras
Coating Consultation
(A one-to-one review of your current finish line)
How much is your current coating system really costing you in drying time, reworks and comebacks?
A Vernites UK consultant will talk through your wood types, the finish you need, your colours, your machinery, build and sheen, drying times and storage. Whether you've got an established spray system, you're fighting quality issues, or you're considering moving to spray for the first time, you'll get straight answers on what would improve your line.
- A review of your current coating cycle, coat by coat
- Honest advice on where water-based would speed you up
- Recommendations matched to your machinery and equipment
- No obligation, no hard sell
You'll come away knowing exactly where your bottlenecks are and what to do about them.
Full Technical Data Pack
(Everything your production and compliance people need)
Ever had to chase a supplier for days just to get a data sheet?
Your trial tin comes with the complete technical documentation for the product you're trialling: product data sheets, application guidance, drying schedules and storage requirements, all ready to drop into your production files.
- Product data sheets for your trial product
- Application parameters for spray, airless and air mix
- Drying and curing schedules for planning your line
- Storage and handling guidance
Your team gets the numbers they need, without the chasing.
Spray Setup Help
(Get your kit tuned for water-based, whatever you run)
Worried your guns, lines or booth setup won't play nicely with water-based?
Vernites products run through conventional spray guns, airless and air mix systems, so most sprayers need no new equipment at all. And if your setup does need adjusting, you get help tuning it for water-based products: tip sizes, pressures, viscosity, the lot.
- Confirmation your existing equipment will run the products
- Gun, tip and pressure settings for water-based
- Grain-raising control and sanding guidance between coats
- Ongoing support once you start trialling
You won't be left guessing how to dial it in.
How does it work
The old way vs the Vernites way
The old way
Solvent-based or first-generation water-based coatings that keep your wood sitting in the drying rack while the clock ticks.
- Coats that take too long to handle
- Lines running below capacity
- Overtime to hit dispatch dates
- Constant worry about VOC emissions, smell and disposal
The usual advice? "Just live with it" or "water-based isn't ready for industrial work yet."
The Vernites way
Italian water-based coatings engineered for industrial speed, with the clarity Italian finishes are famous for and none of the solvent headache.
- Throughput: wood moves through the line faster because coats dry faster
- Fewer coats: higher build per pass means fewer passes per job
- A healthier, lower-emission shop: water-based, low environmental impact
- Confidence outdoors: 15+ years of exposure testing, warranties of 6 to 10 years on request
Your £29.99 / £36.99 trial tins are step one: see it, spray it, time it yourself.
How will it help
Three problems, solved
Discover the Vernites fast-drying, fast-curing formulations, engineered for industrial line speed.
You'll see the drying difference on your own bench, on your own wood.
Discover Vernites clarity and grain-raising control.
You can offer translucent finishes that genuinely show off the timber.
Discover the 10-year guaranteed exterior topcoat and Vernites UV and fungal protection.
You can quote exterior joinery with a warranty behind it and stop paying for coating failures.
Does it work for my situation
Whoever you spray for, whatever you spray with
Every Vernites product is built on one principle: protect and enhance the wood while keeping the line moving. That's what makes the range work across the whole joinery trade.
The root cause behind almost all of it: a coating system that wasn't engineered for your production reality. Fix the coating, and the drying racks, reworks and comebacks start clearing.
30-day 100% money-back promise
Order your trial tin and judge it with your own eyes, on your own wood.
If the finish, the drying time or the clarity isn't what you hoped, tell us within 30 days and we'll refund every penny. You don't need to ship the tin back. No forms, no fight.
And when you do move to Vernites, the confidence continues: exterior products carry a 10-year guarantee, with warranties of 6 to 10 years available on request, backed by over 15 years of manufacturer exposure testing against UV, fungus, moisture and temperature.

Tell us within 30 days and we'll refund every penny under our 100% money-back promise. You don't need to ship the tin back.
Will it work with my spray setup?
Almost certainly. Vernites products run through conventional spray guns, airless and air mix systems, and some lines even brush. If anything needs adjusting, the spray setup help included with your trial tin covers it.
Who is this for?
Joinery manufacturers and professional wood sprayers: window and door manufacturers, bespoke joinery shops, wardrobe and furniture makers, priming-only joiners and kitchen respray businesses. If you finish wood for a living, this is for you.
How is this different from the water-based coatings I've tried?
Vernites has been making industrial water-based wood coatings since 1965, and the current generation is engineered to fix exactly the complaints that gave water-based a bad name: slow drying, cloudiness, grain raising and weak exterior durability. The range won Best Waterbased Paint Coatings at the Build Magazine Awards in 2025 and 2026.
How long does delivery take?
Orders are delivered across the UK in 1 to 2 working days, with free carriage on the trial offer.
Do the prices include VAT?
No. Prices are shown ex-VAT for trade buyers: £29.99 + VAT for the 5kg basecoat, £36.99 + VAT for the 5kg topcoat. Your invoice will show the VAT separately.
Does it work for exterior joinery?
Yes. The exterior system (WEB 861 basecoat plus WET 885 topcoat) is engineered for sunlight and mildew resistance, carries a 10-year guaranteed topcoat, and has been manufacturer-tested for over 15 years of UV, fungus, moisture and temperature exposure.
