Johnstone’s Trade products played an integral role in the cyclical maintenance project at the D H Lawrence Pavilion at Nottingham Lakeside Arts.

Decorators from the CLC Group undertook the redecoration of the facility using Johnstone’s Endura Super Durable Matt for the large expanses of walls in public areas.

Some of the walls had previously been painted in an eggshell finish, so the decorators used an initial coat of Johnstone’s Ultra Primer Sealer to assist in achieving the necessary obliteration.

The Pavilion Café and its food preparation areas have been protected with Johnstone’s Microbarr Anti-Bacterial Acrylic Matt. The product uses proven silver ion technology that protects against 150 strains of bacteria, making it ideal for use in areas that require high levels of hygiene.

The back used for the theatre allows for minimum reflection or glare from the lights, helping the audience focus its attention on the stage and creating a full immersive experience.

Sofia Nazar-Chadwick, head of audience development and marketing at Nottingham Lakeside Arts, said: “We are very happy with the finished look of the D H Lawrence Pavilion. The team from Johnstone’s were professional, knowledgeable and patient with us during the works and were happy to accommodate our busy and untimely programme schedules to get the job finished on time. We have had many positive comments from our audiences and look forward to rolling out the second phase of our re-brand with Johnstone’s.”
