Dulux Trade enhances contractor product offering

Dulux Trade has expanded its range of high performance solutions for the contract market, with the launch of a reformulated Fast Matt solution. The move improves the range of products available for professional contractors, making it easier for them to achieve the highest standard of finish.

The superior contractor offering includes a reformulated version of Dulux Trade Fast Matt as well as Dulux Trade Supermatt, providing a comprehensive and competitive solution for professionals, helping them to achieve a premium finish on new plasterwork and dry lining board.

Dulux Trade Fast Matt is a low sheen interior matt emulsion which now boasts improved opacity and whiteness as well as an increased spreading rate of 17m2 per litre. It delivers excellent touch up properties and is ideal for critical lighting conditions. Additionally, the reformulation means that Dulux Trade Fast Matt has increased burnish resistance, helping it maintain that desirable flat finish.

Dulux Trade Supermatt is a quality, economical matt emulsion, providing good opacity and obliteration levels as well as offering an excellent finish on new plasterwork. It has a spreading rate of 18m2 per litre and is suited for use of interior plaster and masonry surfaces as well as a range of building boards.

Alex Briggs, Brand Manager for Dulux Trade Core, says: "Customers expect an exceptionally high standard of workmanship these days, and taking a 'one size fits all' approach doesn't necessarily allow professionals to meet required performance levels. That's why we've improved our package to meet the needs of contractors working in the new-build and refurbishment sectors. With Supermatt and the enhanced Fast Matt, contractors can pick the most appropriate product for a job and ensure their handiwork is always shown off to its absolute best."
