Dulux Trade Unveils New Paint Specification Creator to Transform Tender Documentation
Dulux Trade has announced the launch of its Paint Specification Creator, a free, digital tool designed to simplify and strengthen the tendering process for architects, designers, project managers, and contractors across the UK.
The new Paint Specification Creator streamlines the previously time‑consuming task of building technically robust paint specifications. By guiding users through a clear, step‑by‑step process and drawing on the full breadth of the Dulux Trade product portfolio, the tool ensures that every specification is accurate, compliant, and tailored to the precise needs of each project.
Designed with both ease of use and professional rigour in mind, the tool allows users to begin by selecting whether they are working on an interior or exterior environment. From there, they can define the surfaces and substrates involved—ranging from plaster and wood to metalwork and masonry—before choosing the finish they wish to achieve.
Once the project parameters are entered, the system automatically searches the comprehensive Dulux Trade range to recommend the most suitable products and coating systems. This ensures specifiers receive a high‑performing and durable solution that aligns with industry best practice, sustainability goals, and aesthetic expectations.
It generates tender‑ready technical documentation, complete with:
- Accurate application guidance
- Full M60 (Painting & Decorating) specification clauses
- Relevant system build‑ups
- Professional formatting suitable for direct inclusion in tender packs
This functionality means specifiers can instantly download a completed pdf document that supports both competitive tendering and compliance with construction standards—saving valuable time during early project stages.
Dulux Trade highlighted the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting the building and construction sector with tools that both simplify decision‑making and elevate the quality of finished work. The Paint Specification Creator builds on decades of coating expertise, offering digital access to technical knowledge traditionally only available through specialist advisors.
The Dulux Trade Paint Specification Creator is available now and free to use
