The problem solving benefits of Dulux Trade Fast Undercoat and Gloss from the Smartec range proved invaluable in the restoration of the spectacular Royal Mills buildings, in Ancoats, Manchester.
The derelict Royal Mills complex has been converted into 198 apartments, by ING Real Estate Development, to provide luxury apartments and a combination of commercial facilities including business space, retail units and restaurant opportunities.
Dulux Trade Fast Undercoat and Gloss were utilised for all doorframes, skirting and doors throughout the Royal Mills development as the system is ideal for overcoming some of the common constraints painting contractors face on major projects such as this.
Using Dulux Trade Fast Undercoat and Gloss means jobs can be finished in half the time compared to conventional products – as the undercoat is ready to gloss over in just four hours. This makes it ideal for projects where there are many trades on site, as the paintwork needs to be completed quickly and be fully dry to save time and reduce the likelihood of damage to the paintwork.
When difficult lighting is a problem, Dulux Trade Fast Gloss also contains innovative Tracker technology, which applies pink but fades to white, allowing contractors to see exactly where has been painted.
Contractors Streamline Utilities Ltd handled the painting of the interiors and John Collistor, Managing Director said:
“I’ve had great feedback from my staff who have enjoyed using paint from the Smartec range. Not only does it dry quickly but it allows us to see exactly where we have painted, helping to avoid snags and ensuring a professional finish in half the time.”
Suitable for both new build and refurbishment projects, the Smartec range has been specifically developed to complete jobs faster without compromising on the quality of the finish.
