Interior Solutions
Our interior coatings are expertly formulated for ceilings, walls, and trim. From everyday durable paints to innovative finishes that are cleanable, stain-resistant, and designed to support healthier environments—through features like air purification and bacteria inhibition—we offer solutions that meet the demands of high-traffic areas, align with aesthetic goals, and comply with regulatory standards.
Exterior Solutions
The Stormshield range offers robust protection for building exteriors, with BBA-approved systems delivering extended life expectancies of 8 to 15 years. We also provide fully certified external wall insulation (EWI) and render systems—ideal for improving thermal performance and enhancing façade aesthetics. These systems are suitable for both new build and retrofit applications.
Specialist Coatings
Our specialist range includes flame-retardant systems, metal finishes, and floor paints. These high-performance coatings are supported by tailored pre-treatments and primers, offering targeted solutions for hygiene, graffiti resistance, corrosion protection, and more. Whether your project requires compliance with fire safety standards or durability in demanding environments, we have a system to suit.
