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.
Albany has a wide range of Primers, Undercoats and Primer Undercoat suitable for a variety of internal and external surface preparation. For more advice on the use of these products, please head to Brewers.co.uk or head into your local Brewers Decorator Centre.

We are thrilled to announce that Brewers Decorator Centres were awarded the Family Business of the Year award in the Homes & Gardens category!
It was an honour to be runners up in other categories too, including Community Support & Involvement, London & South East and The People’s Choice Award.
Since 1904, the company’s family culture and commitment to supporting local communities and charitable organisations has fuelled our vision of ‘playing our part in making the world a brighter place’.
The organisers of the awards, Family Business United, are just one of the organisations that champion family businesses and recognise the importance and unique qualities that family businesses bring to the economy and the broader community impact.

Feast Your Eyes On The Newly Decorated Dartford Larder Project!
Feast Your Eyes On The Newly Decorated Dartford Larder Project!
Brewers were thrilled to get involved with this unique project, donating 85L of Albany Paints and sundries to transform the space that will have a powerful impact on the local community.
This new, social supermarket has created an alternative to foodbanks, providing an affordable shopping experience whilst reducing food waste.
Members of the Larder can purchase a selection of food and essentials for just £4.50.
Located in Copperfields Walk, Dartford, the Dartford Larder will also play host to a range of other services including budgeting and health & wellbeing advice.
“At the Dartford Larder, we’re not just handing out food – we’re building hope.
We’ve created a space where people are seen, supported, and empowered.
It’s about dignity, not dependency.
Every person who walks through our doors matters.
Every conversation, every choice, every contribution helps build a stronger, more compassionate community.”
Pastor Stephen Brindley from Crossways Community Church
Created in partnership with Dartford Borough Council, Crossways Community Church, and Healthy Living Centre, the Dartford Larder has also received support from the council, the UK Government's Household Support Fund, Big Local, and Dartford’s business community.
Albany’s Embley and Wolf Grey were used throughout the space with Brilliant White in Vinyl Matt, creating a warm and welcoming scheme.
