Marco, Williams, the developer, insisted on using a traditional lime render for the building, which dates back to 1724. Asked to specify a suitable decorative coating for the masonry, decorating contractor Richard Payne turned to Sandtex Trade and the Crown Paints Specification team for advice. The Integrasil mineral paint system was recommended as it is one of very few coatings available in the UK considered suitable for application over lime render. In addition to offering long term decorative benefits, Integrasil bonds with the substrate and provides long-lasting weather protection whilst allowing water vapour molecules to escape, effectively allowing the building to ‘breathe’.
“Working with traditional materials has been quite an experience for us all,” said Marco , “But Richard’s team rose to the challenge and they’ve done an excellent job for me, as always. The project is now complete and I have six stunning new luxury properties to sell. But with a little help from Sandtex Trade we’ve restored the exteriors of this impressive property to their former glory.
