Sandtex Trade 365 is specially formulated for use outside the traditional exterior decorating season - featuring high performance Pliolite® Resin to combat difficult weather conditions. This means decorators using Sandtex Trade 365 can start-off the traditional exterior painting season earlier or later than if they use conventional masonry paints. Sharon Smith, Sandtex Trade Brand Manager said: “With 15 years’ proven durability, Sandtex Trade 365 features exceptional adhesion, giving a long-lasting finish helping to increase maintenance cycles, which has been independently certified by the British Board of Agrément. “Excellent opacity is also assured and the coating can be used on most exterior masonry surfaces and exterior grade building boards.”
Crown Paints has received top marks from a West Midlands-based university after transforming their Students’ Union café.
Different types of masonry paint are introduced in the second episode of the ‘This Is Sandtex Trade’ video series from Crown Paints.
Sandtex Trade 365 All Weather Masonry Paint’s high performance Pliolite® Resin formulation is designed to combat difficult weather conditions, as it can be applied in temperatures down to -10 degrees Celsius, and it is also rain resistant in 20 minutes. As a result, decorators can extend their window of opportunity to complete external decorating projects beyond the traditional exterior decorating season. Sharon Smith, Sandtex Trade Brand Manager said: “Sandtex Trade 365 All Weather Masonry Paint really proves its worth at this time of the year. “Part of the film includes a clip where we carry out a demonstration to show its unique qualities. “We compare the coating with a water-borne alternative and the qualities of Sandtex Trade 365 become immediately evident. “Shortly after application we spray both coatings with water. The water borne product starts to run, but the Sandtex Trade 365 remains in intact, and the video actually shows the water beading up. “The product’s resistance to showers after 20 minutes makes it an ideal product to use if the weather is unpredictable. “Sandtex Trade 365 is also dry in one to two hours, with an overcoat time of 16 hours. “And quality is assured as it offers 15 years’ proven durability, which has been independently certified by the British Board of Agrément.”

Sadolin’s latest product, Beautiflex®, offers the opportunity for an early start outdoors for wood care projects. This solvent opaque woodstain can be applied in cooler temperatures, enabling wood protection projects to take place outside typical outdoor seasons. Sadolin Beautiflex® is ideal for all new, bare or previously coated exterior wood, including decking and its superior flexibility is achieved through a formulation which features alkyd resin technology, giving the coating the assurance of up to 7 years protection. Colour choice is also catered for. Three ready mixed colours and 42 tinted shades are available and HALS within the formulation protect the coating from UV damage to ensure the colours retain their integrity for the long term.
Available in over 300 shades, Sadolin Superdec is renowned for its comprehensive colour palette, as well as its outstanding protective qualities. Sadolin Superdec offers a highly durable opaque finish which erodes naturally by weathering, ensuring the coating remains flexible and resists cracking, peeling and flaking. This flexibility enables Sadolin Superdec to offer up to 8 years’ protection against the elements. The product is also self-priming and undercoating, thus reducing the need for an extra product on new wood. It also requires little preparation, and can be applied over previously decorated surfaces.

A Midlands-based housing association turned to Crown Trade Fastflow to deliver a splash of colour, with a low odour application and fast-drying times for the comfort and convenience of residents. Doors, window sills and skirting boards were decorated with Crown Trade Fastflow Quick Dry Gloss, over Crown Trade Fastflow Quick Dry Primer Undercoat. The work was carried out by Hankinson Painting Contractors from their West Bromwich site and also included the application of Crown Trade Clean Extreme Scrubbable Matt for the corridor walls. “They managed the project for us in terms of colour choices and what would work best and they were a really useful partner in the process of getting the work done and keeping the tenants satisfied. Tony Nash, Chief Executive of Lyng Community Association said “They managed the project for us in terms of colour choices and what would work best and they were a really useful partner in the process of getting the work done and keeping the tenants satisfied. Crown Trade Fastflow is really good and we were pleased with the lack of odour and the speed the paint dried.” Since its launch two years ago, Crown Trade Fastflow Quick Dry Gloss has built-up a following in the trade as the ideal choice where a low odour and quick drying product is required. The range has recently been extended with the successful introduction of Crown Trade Fastflow Quick Dry Satin earlier this year. “It features advanced water based technology which offers the characteristics of a traditional solvent based product - with the benefits of a water based formulation.
