Peter Rhodes, National Sector Manager for Building Design at Dulux Decorator Centre, explains how the new Specification Services hub is supporting specifiers.

Dulux Decorator Centre offer professional specification tools and guidance to specifiers across different sectors. To strengthen this offering in 2023 and beyond, Dulux Decorator Centre has launched a new Specification Services hub.

“When specifying for a project, it’s important to carefully consider how paints and coatings can improve sustainability, as well as occupant safety and wellbeing”, says Peter Rhodes, National Sector Manager for Building Design at Dulux Decorator Centre.

“Specifiers can find everything they need to specify the right products for upcoming projects and achieve great, long-lasting results with environmental credentials. Whether it be industry-leading advice or commercial colour services and interior design tools. The Dulux Decorator Centre team are here to support you at every stage of your specification”.

Sector Guidance
“We have years of cross-sector experience at Dulux Decorator Centre and our experts understand that each sector is different. This allows us to tailor our advice, whether you’re working in aged care and dementia, education, healthcare, leisure, residential or workplace environments”, says Peter, “we’ve also integrated NBS Source to the hub, so specifiers can find the right products and add them directly to specifications”.

Paint Specification Tools
Selecting the right products and colours is simple with the free online tools from Dulux. “Specifiers can use the Dulux Paint Specification Creator to plan an upcoming paint specification, or the Dulux Trade Colour Schemer to explore and visualise colours for a space. Plus, the Dulux Connect Directory helps you to find the right contractor”.

Innovative Products
Dulux Decorator Centre are committed to helping trade professionals create safer, more sustainable environments in every sector. “We have an extensive range of innovative products to help you make more informed product decisions”, explains Peter, “plus, you can download Dulux Trade BIM objects for specifications from the hub”.

Sustainability Policies
“Specifiers can also access documentation to help you choose paints that comply with green building standards such as LEED, BREEAM and the Well Building Standard. Plus, it’s easy to download relevant EPDs of Dulux Trade products”.

Colour Services
“Selecting the right colours can enhance a space and have a positive impact on occupants”, emphasises Peter, “and we offer a range of tools and resources such as Colour of the Year inspiration and expert advice from Commercial Colour Consultants to help you design beautiful and functional spaces. You can also order free colour samples from the Specification Services hub.”

Case Studies
“We’ve also uploaded our latest success stories, which showcase how our teams have helped specify products for a diverse range of jobs and across different sectors. You can also find the latest industry leading podcasts on the hub, where Dulux experts speak and share expertise with career development platforms such as RIBA and SBID.”
