When North East property management company, Kingston Property
Services, needed to transform the exterior woodwork on five blocks
of fully rendered flats, it turned to Dulux Trade for a durable and
long lasting finish.
The blocks of residential flats on the Falstone Walk estate in
Fawdon, Newcastle Upon Tyne, received the ultimate in woodcare
protection from the experts at Dulux Trade. Already having a strong
relationship with Kingston Property Services, preparing all internal
and external specifications for the past five years, Specifier
Account Manager, Sam Rudd, worked closely with the maintenance
company to deliver a bespoke service tailored to the company’s
needs.
Mark Smith, at Kingston Property Services, said: “The priority was
to maintain the high quality and condition of the woodwork, as well
as improve the building’s aesthetics and the curb side appeal of the
flats. Taking this into consideration, Dulux Trade Ultimate
Weathershield Opaque Woodstain and Dulux Trade Smooth Masonry paint
were applied.”
Ideally suited for exterior joinery, cladding and doors, Dulux Trade
Ultimate Weathershield Opaque Woodstain was used to protect the
development’s most distinctive features - the timber windows,
decorative beams and wooden strapping. The product’s resistance to
cracking, flaking and blistering ensures it delivers superior
exterior coverage for up to ten years, whilst the high performance
satin finish provides outstanding water repellence.
With over 600 colours available in Dulux Trade Ultimate
Weathershield Opaque Woodstain, Kingston Property Services worked
with the team at Dulux Trade to create colour previews and
experiment with the combination of shades on offer to develop
specifications that would transform the development.
“With any residential project, the opinions of the residents always
count and were a key consideration when selecting from the large
variety of shades on offer. We are over the moon with the results
and are confident the Dulux Trade products will deliver outstanding
woodcare for years to come, both protecting the timber and enhancing
the visual appeal of the development.”
To prevent disfiguring surface growth, Dulux Trade Weathershield
Smooth Masonry paint was also used to frame the windows and cover
the rendered walls. The special formulation used in the product
helps prevent mould growth, providing up to up to 15 year’s optimum
protection.
