Our philosophy is based on a real
desire and a determination to provide the best quality paints,
at very affordable prices with personal service.
We feel strongly that we wish to play a part in the world in which we live. We
take care, in many ways, to be responsible in our actions, both in our small
part in world environmental health and by making paints that do provide an acceptable
environment for you when decorating at home.
In a continuing programme of monitoring and control we have successfully reduced
the emissions of waste, reduced use of solvents and have vetted our material
suppliers, to see that their methods are acceptable. To check this, we have personally
visited the companies supplying more than two thirds of the materials we use
in our paints.
To improve your own personal environment
we have successfully developed paints that cover really well
thereby requiring less coats than ordinary paint.

In addition we have
developed excellent water-based alternatives for all the
finishes you will need at home. This negates the need for
solvent-based paints.
We find that a number of consumers ask if our paint is child
friendly and suitable for decorating children's' rooms. The
answer is a definite yes, as recently batches
of the Acrylic Matt Emulsion and Acrylic Eggshell paints in the range were certified
to British Standards BS 5665 Part 3, commonly known as 'Toy Paints Regulations'.
This ensures that the dangerous heavy metal contents, including lead and chromium,
complies to European standards.
Worth mentioning also, is that the Matt paints
are formulated without the use of solvents, so there are no nasty smells during
application.
