Dulux Trade Diamond range showcased at Earls Court and Olympia

Earls Court & Olympia, the company behind two of West Londons largest exhibition and conference centres, has specified the groundbreaking Diamond range of paints from Dulux Trade for use at its world famous venues.

Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell was first specified in 2008 for use during the interior decoration of the upper level walls of Earls Court Hall One.

When the gallery and ground floor areas of the Olympia's Grand and International Halls needed redecorating in 2009, the specification team again turned to Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell.

The paint, on this occasion, needed to be sprayed onto some of the more inaccessible areas of the hall and was applied over a variety of existing water based and solvent based coatings. Painting contractor S Lucas was chosen due to its wealth of experience of paint spraying, and Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell was specified because of its excellent adhesion properties, to ensure maximum coverage over the existing coatings. Being water based, Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell was also ideal for satisfying the health and safety requirements associated with spraying paint.

With a job this size, the potential for waste is huge. In order to avoid sending the paint cans from this project to landfill, the team recycling them through Dulux Decorator Centres' can recycling scheme.

Bob Marks, Head of Projects for Earls Court & Olympia, said: "From earlier experience of specifying Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell, I knew that it would provide a finish I could rely on. In addition to this, the excellent service I received from the specifier account team on previous occasions, motivated me to specify Dulux Trade products for the redecoration of the Olympia Grand Hall and gallery."

Specifiers tell us that it is the excellent coverage and finish achieved by Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell that keeps them coming back to the brand. In this case, the adhesion and coverage achieved by the paint were particularly important due to its spray application, making Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell a great choice for the Olympia project.
