<< AKZO NOBEL DECORATIVE COATINGS - Building Materials and Architectural Building Products >>


Akzo Nobel Decorative Coatings Limited

Akzo Nobel Decorative Coatings Limited is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of high quality paints and coatings. Being part of the worldwide Akzo Nobel chemicals company gives scale to research, development and production for established brands and systems that have, over a number of years, become highly respected for offering superior decorative and protective solutions.

Range of Products

Among a wide portfolio of brands, Crown Trade and Sandtex Trade are those that have become best known to the specifier – between them they cover every aspect of decorative coating technology, from superlative quality emulsions, glosses and masonry finishes to flame retardant, mould-resistant and multicolour effects coatings.

National Specification Service

Akzo Nobel supports its position as a leading coatings manufacturer through a high level of commitment to the industry. This is manifest in a variety of services, made available through a network of Specifier Consultants. The team of skilled individuals is available to provide expert advice and solutions for all decorative and substrate problems. From the discussion and refinement of the decorative aspects of a specification, including detailed colour advice, through all stages of site application, the team ensures that the very best performance can be obtained by the correct use of the company’s products.

Site Assessment

To produce a full technical specification, a detailed site assessment is carried out to ascertain the requirements and regulations of the project. Every aspect of the nature and condition of the substrates to be decorated is considered including the climatic, atmospheric and environmental conditions to which they will be subjected.

Smart Maintenance

Smart Maintenance is an asset management programme developed by Akzo Nobel Decorative Coatings Limited, to enable specifiers, especially in the Public Sector, to take care of the decorative maintenance of buildings, paying regard to tenant satisfaction and long-term cost predictability. Best Value puts a number of responsibilities upon specifiers, including achievement of demonstrable cost savings. Smart Maintenance proposes a three-way partnership between specifier, contractor and manufacturer with the aim of prescribing a tailored, site-specific maintenance cycle over the life-time of the building.

Commitment to the Industry and to Customer Satisfaction

Akzo Nobel is committed to raising standards within the industry and to this end promotes a series of training courses under the "Training Link" umbrella. Training is available at the Company’s Head Office in Lancashire or via a network of affiliated colleges nationwide.

CPD seminars are also available and have proved of great benefit to those engaged in specifying decorative coatings. It’s part of a rounded service to our customers that means from specification to completion, we can assist you with the right products and the appropriate response to your individual needs.
