Unique Water-Borne Paint & Lacquer System For Specialist Surface Designs & Finishes
HV'ART Lacquer Paint System
The HV’ART product range has been developed by the team of craftsmen at Henry van der Vijver in London. It is a unique waterborne, environmentally friendly paint & lacquer system for specialist surface designs & finishes.
A contemporary solvent free paint system with the virtues of the past
HV’ART Lacquer Paint can be made in any colour, has a hard crystal quality, a soft silky-smooth finish and in formulation is equivalent to the paints & lacquers used by premium furniture makers. Included in the system are: adhesion promoting primers & undercoats, tinted lacquer paint for furniture painting & a ‘Decorative Canvas’ (all available in any colour) as a base for decorative ‘Lacquer Glazes’.
There are four different setting ‘Lacquer Glazes’ for all decorative finishes & a range of ‘Crystal Lacquers’ with 10 sheens available for the perfect finish. Starting from ‘Mineral 00’ Deep Flat working their way incrementally to the ‘Ceramic 90’ Ultimate Gloss. These paints & lacquers can also be combined with HV’ART additives to achieve finishes with extreme durability.
Our Eco-Friendly stand
Solvent Free
We have been instrumental in the environmentally friendly water borne paint movement in the UK and although est. in 1988 the business has been trading as a ‘Green’ business since 1996 believing in looking after the planet, ourselves & our clients.
It is our policy to use as few if any solvents as possible. We combine traditional skills with the continual improvement in modern eco-friendly waterborne technology therefore our designs & finishes are crafted to minimize environmental footprint.
Unlike the past with traditional oil-based paint systems our finishes are multi layered & quick drying making their conservation more cost effective.
We use our own HV’ART Lacquer Paint system for basecoats, furniture painting, decorative glaze finishes & lacquering & other than any specialist primers and stoppers this system is relatively odourless, solvent free, colourfast & non-yellowing which ensures that there will be minimal if any discolouration even in direct sunlight or behind furniture & paintings etc.
