A new package of technical services has been introduced by leading paint manufacturer PPG Architectural Coatings to provide construction professionals with all the information and support they need in the ever-evolving decorating industry.
PPG Extra is a comprehensive package of advisory and consultancy services that has been developed to guide architects, building facilities managers, and other specifiers through key issues that affect decorative decisions such as legislation, building regulations, environmental concerns and socially responsibility.
PPG, who manufacture leading trade paint brands Johnstone’s and Leyland, as well as premium application tools brand Fat Hog, is already considered by many in the industry to be at the forefront of technical support for construction industry professionals. PPG Extra furthers that reputation by ensuring that tailored technical solutions are available for professionals working on a wide array of projects.
Working alongside the Johnstone’s Specification Development Managers, PPG Extra’s Technical Specification team will carry out site assessments of projects, work from technical drawings and clients’ briefs, and then propose a suggested package of support services to ensure the project runs smoothly and the best performance is achieved from the paint.
Tony Walker, Technical Manager – Specification, comments: “By reducing the complexity of a project and suggesting cost effective solutions from the start, PPG Extra can save construction industry professionals time and money. By extending maintenance cycles through specialist products and preparation and application techniques, PPG Extra can provide a cost effective solution for every situation.”
Colour combinations play an integral role in the success of most projects and PPG Extra’s Colour Services team is able to draw upon sector specific knowledge to ensure specifiers and architects are equipped with all the information needed to make a colour selection that will stand the test of time. Whether you’re working from a client’s brief, site drawings or require bespoke schemes and painted colour samples, PPG Extra can provide the ideas and answers.
State-of-the-art tinting system and colour matching technology means there is a comprehensive range of products and finishes available across both the Johnstone’s and Leyland product ranges. The unique colour matching service means PPG is able to match to any sample of paint, fabric, wallpaper and even tiles. Samples from the original paintwork can be sent to a team of specialists, who are then able to accurately match the desired colour.
Whether you need a simple question answering, a project visit or have a problem with applying a product, PPG Extra will guide you through the process with ease. For more information click here.
