What's The Difference Between Water-Based And Oil-Based Paint?Updated 6 months ago

In water-based products, the primary thinner in the paint is water, whereas solvent-based paints use solvents as thinners. Opting for water-based paints is a safer choice, both for the environment and the painter's health. During the painting process, water-based paints have a smaller environmental footprint compared to solvent-based paints, thanks to their lower emissions. This also leads to improved indoor air quality and reduced allergy risks.

Johnstone's range contains both water and solvent-based products, but please be aware we sell only water-based options directly from our website. If you are looking for solvent-based Johnstone's products, please visit our store locator for stockists.
