What are the benefits of a water-based finish?
A. In 2009, Maria Yee introduced a new vivid, durable water-based coating. This eco-friendly finish is low in Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and contains no added formaldehyde. It is sturdier than traditional finishes, resistant to scratches and many household products (such as beverages and cleaners) but still provides a clear and rich look. It also meets the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturer’s Association (KCMA) standards – stringent guidelines that measure finish durability and performance.
