Albany Paints
Albany Paints provide a wide range of finishes and preparations for both Trade and DIY applications. The Albany Paint and Wallpaper range is exclusive to Brewers Decorator Centres who are on hand to give the very best in free advice when using Albany.
The Albany brand has recently celebrated it’s one hundredth year, being at the forefront of paint evolution providing high quality and great value. Albany has always stood for quality from the day that Clement Brewer chose the name, having seen the Albany Mansions in Piccadilly where the interior decoration was said to be of the highest standard. Today, Albany has a comprehensive choice of finishes with thousands of colours available and a full range of primers and undercoats, all manufactured to superior trade grade quality. Alongside paint, Albany offers the full package with a wide choice of wallpapers, brushes, rollers, and decorating accessories.
The Albany Paint Range:
AF1 is a water-based coating for interior ceilings that contains matting agents to help hide imperfections and brush or roller marks, giving ceilings a consistent, flawless appearance. The non-reflective properties of Albany AF1 Ceiling Paint also hides flashing by creating a super flat matt finish with no sheen whatsoever!
Albany Floor Paint is available in solvent-based and water-based finishes, providing a durable finish for concrete floors. The single pack floor coating is easy to use and offers superior performance.
Albany has also developed three woodcare finishes to protect interior and exterior timber. Albany Original is a translucent all-purpose wood stain that can be used on interior and exterior timber for long lasting protection in a matt finish. Albany Advanced is a translucent, durable wood stain that can be used on interior and exterior timber, offering superior UV protection in a satin finish. When used as a system, both finishes provide ultimate weather resistance and durability. Albany Masterdec is an opaque wood stain that can be used on exterior timber, providing a self-priming, fast-drying, and flexible finish. Available in a range of colours that will completely obliterate the original colour of the wood.

Transformations Under Waterloo Bridge With The London School Of Muralism
Brewers were thrilled to support the London School of Muralism (LSoM) once again with the donation of 25L of Albany Masonry Paint and sundries for their latest mural.
Just opposite Waterloo Station, a once harsh and overlooked underpass has been transformed into a riot of colour and humour thanks to the brand-new mural from the renowned Artmongers collective.

Led by artist Patricio Forrester, founder of LSoM and co-founder of Artmongers, the project brought together seven emerging muralists with members of the local community through a creative collaboration with St John's at Waterloo Arts Club.
Aptly titled “Water Loopy Flypass”, the artwork features a flock of fashion-forward, commuter pigeons soaring under the arch in quirky, colourful outfits – a cheeky nod to both urban life and London's beloved feathered residents.
After five lively design sessions, two bold concepts were presented to the public for a vote, via local networks LERA, Coin Street, SOWN, and St John's at Waterloo. With 189 people casting their votes, the playful pigeon design took 65% of the vote.
“This space felt a bit unloved,” said Patricio Forrester. “Humour can dissolve the tension in a space like this. And pigeons—often stigmatised—deserve the spotlight. They’re graceful, resilient and undeniably part of London’s soul.”
Painting directly onto the high-arched structure posed unique technical challenges. Artists had to account for extreme viewing angles and distort figures accordingly.
The mural was brought to life by LSoM students: Tessie Orange Turner, Charlotte Clarke, Finn Donovan, Tia McKoy, Beci Ward, Farya Hussein, Ana Mendoza and Ruan Murphy, with painting contributions from local residents John Pierce and Francesca Hearn.

Brewers Weymouth were thrilled to support a local mural with the donation of decorating supplies and the results are incredible!
Fungicidal Wash, Decorators Caulk, Masonry Filler, an Aluminium Oxide Roll, Tesa Tape and Albany Masonry Paint were all donated to the project to ensure the best prepwork and finish possible. Polyvine also kindly donated varnish to protect the finished piece, making sure the mural will last for many years to come.
The mural was created by Dorset artist, Peter Sheridan and was unveiled last month to celebrate RNLIs 200 years of saving lives at sea.
Located on the side of Custom House, Weymouth harbourside, Steve Renyard (former volunteer Lifeboat Operations Manager), unveiled the artwork, which is a representation of a Severn class lifeboat named Ernest and Mabel (17-32).
A huge congratulations to everybody involved, including the incredible fundraising team at the RNLI for making the mural possible.
