Everywhere you look there is paint. Our innovative products might be on your office walls, the floor you walk on, your local carpark, the fixtures in your local supermarket, or on the colourful urban architecture around you. But choosing a paint that doesn’t perform well for a specific application can lead to costly mistakes, angry clients and a damaged reputation. That’s why it’s important for specifiers and designers to understand the different features, benefits and limitations of different paints and coatings and to be actively involved in the specifying process.
