PAINTING & DECORATING JOHNSTONE’S TRADE IN FLAWLESS FINISH
Johnstone’s Trade Perfect Matt has been designed to eliminate visible application marks. Made with Smooth Layer technology, the paint has a balanced ratio of binding agent, additives and pigments to deliver a flawless, flat matt finish. The technology eliminates the impact of marks such as streaks and overlapping, as well as the costs of returning to repaint.
Johnstone’s Trade Perfect Matt can also be used to re-touch and spot repair, ensuring
any spoiled areas blend in flawlessly with the surrounding surface. It also achieves the same flat matt finish when applied to high-absorbency surfaces or over filler marks, with no need for a primer. It comes in the full range of Voice of Colour shades, and can be purchased in 2.5L, 5L and 10L sizes. The new paint also has a class 1 scrub rating. David Baines, technical specification manager key accounts, at Johnstone’s Trade, says: “We know professional painters and
SAFEGUARD’S STORMDRY DRIES OUT IN FRINTON
Residents of a 12-storey tower block in Frinton on the Essex coast are now enjoying damp-free conditions and unspoilt interiors after contractors waterproofed their building with Stormdry Masonry Protection Cream from Safeguard Europe.
Within a few months of Stormdry Masonry Protection Cream being applied, both the building owners and the residents reported walls drying out and the damp patches receding. They should also find that their properties become more energy efficient – bricks have twice the thermal resistance when dry than when wet, making them insulate more effectively. To solve the damp, the brickwork was repointed completely and then, once the mortar had cured, coated with Stormdry Masonry Protection Cream. Stormdry is fast and easy to apply by either brush
or roller and cures colourlessly to the original finish of masonry in just 12 hours. It is particularly suitable for such applications as it leaves the appearance of the surface unchanged and the treated wall still 90% as breathable as an untreated wall. The treatment prevents future water penetration yet allows water vapour to leave, so that any residual moisture can evaporate from the building. In this case it meant that the wet insulation could start to dry out, restoring its performance and driving out the damp patches.
decorators put in a lot of time and effort into making sure the finish is as smooth and consistent as possible. This can mean additional and unexpected time and costs spent on the job. That’s why we developed Johnstone’s Trade Perfect Matt – to provide a solution to issues we know the industry faces.”
PURDY ADDS PRODUCTIVITY Purdy launched a range of new
products aimed at boosting productivity earlier this year, including a range of accessories for the Purdy Dual Roll-Off Bucket, a clever angled scraper and carbide scraper, and a new mohair roller sleeve for a perfect finish. A new Roll-Off Bucket Lid that clips on top of the bucket allows decorators to store paint efficiently between coats or even overnight with no clean up and will protect paint from site dust and debris, reducing waste. A new Purdy 18” Paint Tray also fits neatly on top of Dual Roll-Off Bucket and can double as a lid.
Two new prep tools include a Bent Pole Scraper ,designed with a carefully angled blade that maximises efficiency while minimising scraped knuckles. floorboards, or for hard-to-reach areas.
Also new to the Purdy prep tool range is a heavy duty Carbide Scraper,
TEKNOSPRO FINISHES UP ON HERITAGE PROJECTS
TeknosPro says it has a strong commitment to environmental issues and produces coatings with sustainability at their core. The products are engineered to meet the diverse needs of today’s modern world while also offering protection for historic sites.
Waterborne paints are ideal for use on heritage sites as they have low-to-no odour, low VOCs, and contain a synthetic resin which is not light sensitive, and so the colours do not fade like their oil based counterparts. These sustainable coatings are fast drying and incredibly durable. Examples include TeknosPro’s WOODEX AQUA range which offers long-lasting stains for wooden exteriors
protecting them from extreme weather, while the FUTURA AQUA portfolio of opaque paints can be used on wooden interiors and exteriors as well as radiators and other metal surfaces. It’s not just the timber that can be protected. The TIMANTTI range contains specialist paints to prevent problem areas such as mildew and has primers designed to block stains from soot or water damage. SILOKSAN FACADE masonry paint is intended for use on external surfaces, such as concrete, plaster, lime-sand brick and mineral boards.
Additionally, Teknos produces
TeknosIndustry coatings which are used on new joinery such as replacing windows and

doors on historic sites. Within the various portfolios are stains which penetrate and protect the wood surface, and top coats which have a micro-porous protective film. They minimise discolouration, maximise durability and protect against problems such as blue stain and mould. They are also highly breathable, allowing joinery to move through the seasons with coatings intact for many years. BMJ

perfect for when extra power is required: for removing old or multiple layers of paint for instance. Replacement blades, made from high- carbon steel are available separately. This new Carbide Scraper will remove glue, paint, varnish, wood stains and rust from flat surfaces .
