Situated in the Scottish countryside of Perth and Kinross, Crieff Hydro Hotel is a leading family resort set in 900 acres of grounds. It was recently the job of Borthwick Decorators Ltd to update the accommodation using products from the GORI range by PPG, which has recently been made available across the UK and Ireland.

David Borthwick, managing director at Borthwick Decorators Ltd, said: “Many of the cabins are finished with a colourful exterior coating, but the management noticed that they were starting to look a bit dull and tired. They got in touch with us to help give the cabins a well-needed refresh.”

David and the team opted to use GORI 99 Extreme Opaque Wood Finish. This specific type of coating penetrates deep into the wood for durable protection against mould, fungus growth and blue stain for up to 15 years, as well as being extremely opaque. To protect the cabins against the unpredictable nature of the Scottish weather, GORI 99 Extreme Opaque Wood Finish is also UV-resisting and water-repellent, reducing the risk of water damage.

Products in the GORI range are available in thousands of colours, which made it the perfect choice for the lodges at the Crieff Hydro Hotel. The team at Borthwick Decorators Ltd used blues, greens, reds and browns to help ensure the cabins are not only practical, but beautiful to look at too.

Borthwick Decorators Ltd have been using products from the GORI range for several years. Initially impressed by the range’s high quality and ease of use, GORI is now their preferred wood coating.

David explained: “When we first started working with GORI products, we were blown away by the performance and finish. The products are easy to work with and have allowed us to provide our customers with a professional look and outstanding durability. GORI has become our go-to exterior coatings range so there was no question that we’d be using it to give the cabins at the Crieff Hydro Hotel a new lease of life.”

Fiona Leckie, head of interiors and retail at Crieff Hydro Hotel, said: “Quality is at the very heart of everything we do at the hotel. We constantly strive to meet and exceed the high standards of our customers, which means that every part of our resort must look its best at all times. Thanks to the team at Borthwick Decorators Ltd and the GORI product range, our popular cabins will be looking smart and inviting to customers for many years to come.”
