What we deliver
Four disciplines, one laboratory and an archive going back to 1975. From a single litre matched to colour, to a complete coating system with a fifteen-year warranty.
Exclusive wall finishes
Lime plaster, tadelakt, glaze and metal leaf, applied by a dedicated crew that travels with the project. For residential and hotel work in the Gulf region.
Every wall gets its own mix number, tuned to the daylight of the room. In our Dubai showroom, architects can have full-size wall samples made within five working days.

Heritage & restoration
Paint stratigraphy, historic colour matching and reconstructing formulations that no longer exist. Including traditional linseed oil paint.
For the Royal palaces we keep a colour file per building, so every window frame gets exactly the same shade even after thirty years.
Archive since 1975
Colour consultancy & laboratory
Matched to your sample within 24 hours, from one litre up. Our laboratory also runs durability testing and failure analysis for third parties.
