Albany Original is a translucent all-purpose wood stain that can be used on interior and exterior timber for long lasting protection in a matt finish.

Albany Advanced

New Paint Collection at Brewers

Brewers Decorator Centres are excited to be stocking two new Dulux products from the Dulux Heritage range.

Dulux Heritage is a new range of professional quality paints that deliver a beautiful ‘smooth to the touch’ aesthetic along with the tough, lasting durability needed for everyday life.

The stunning collection of beautiful colours are inspired by significant periods of British decorating history combined with contemporary and future design trends, skillfully researched by historical colour experts and curated by the expert team at Dulux.

Now, to give the professional even more confidence in the quality of the finish, Dulux has developed two innovative new Heritage paints, comprising a new emulsion for walls and ceilings with a unique Velvet Matt finish and a premium solvent free Eggshell for trim. Both are available online or in one of our 190+ stores nationwide. And if being bought in July, you can get 20% off Velvet Matt 2.5L and 5L!

It is this unique blend of colour expertise married with technical innovation that sets Dulux Heritage apart. The result allows professionals to offer customers a range of colours that are effortlessly elegant for today’s homes in a premium paint that is easy to apply to walls, woodwork or metalwork, with the quality and durability that Dulux is known for. A perfect mix of modern style and substance.

The palette is designed to contain the perfect balance of pale, mid and deep shades from the palest duck egg to deepest aubergine, along with a perfect white for every colour scheme.

Such a luxurious range of colours demand to be admired whether they are applied in a dining room, bedroom, living room or a tiny cloakroom – and be as beautiful to touch as they are to look at. Dulux Heritage paint goes on smoothly and once on the wall, the rich colours are accentuated with a soft, tactile finish that feels soft and luxurious to the touch, just like velvet.

The Dulux Heritage Velvet Matt emulsion is formulated with premium quality pigments to guarantee excellent depth of colour and contains specially blended clays for effortless application and the irresistible soft to touch finish that will stand up to customers’ busy lives.

Dulux Heritage Eggshell is a durable and hard-wearing water-based eggshell for use on interior wood and metal in a tough formulation that delights customers. It is easy to apply, quick drying, low odour and remains beautiful for years.

Dulux UK Creative Director Marianne Shillingford explains: “With the bespoke formulation of Velvet Matt for walls and ceilings, Dulux has created its most high-quality finish to date, a beautiful durable formulation that complements the aesthetic of the premium colour range.

“Heritage is the ultimate professional quality paint with a colour palette that combines the best classic colours from the past, present and future.

“What is great now is that it’s easier than ever for decorators and designers to create sophisticated colour schemes in a velvety matt finish that actually feels as good as it looks on their walls. It’s an exciting innovation and sets this range apart from anything else on the market.

“Decorators have trusted Dulux for 90 years and that’s a heritage we are proud to keep going with the launch of the new range.”

The quality of Heritage is backed by the Dulux Promise that each can of paint will deliver the perfect colour, uniform finish and the coverage stated, or Dulux will replace it.

How to use Teal in your Next Colour Scheme

Building Products Index Ltd February 21, 2023 Paint Leave a Comment

Visit the Brewers website

Teal is a blue-green and is a firm favourite for those who want the coolness and depth of blue with the warmth of yellow. Teal is a very versatile colour, allowing you to create a whole range of feelings within a space. Depending on the shade of teal you opt for, you can create a sense of opulence and sophistication, or a lighter shade of teal can feel more invigorating and fun. At Brewers, we have thousands of colours and brands to choose from, all tintable in-store or online.

Not sure where to start? Here are two palettes to inspire your next project!

1. Teal and Violet:

Using teal and violets together creates a fresh, modern look.

Teal and violet both have blue undertones, which make them work well together, however, violet can overwhelm teal if you’re not careful!

To avoid a clash, we would recommend building your scheme around teal and using shades of violet as an accent colour.

Cool Lilac (top left) – A pastel shade of violet

Schooner (middle left) – A light teal encouraging calm into a space

Cote D’Azur (bottom left)– A rich teal for a cocooning feel

Highlands (middle right)– A warm violet

Meghan (bottom right) – A deep shade of violet

2. Harmonising with Teal:

Using a combination of blue, teal, green and yellow is a great way to create a harmonising look, as these colours sit together on the colour wheel.

Using Garland and Forsythia amongst darker colours will lift the scheme and create balance.

From top to bottom:

Highbrook – A rich, navy blue

Jubillee – A blue worthy of royalty

Cote D’Azur – A rich teal for a cocooning feel

Garland – A refreshing green

Forsythia – A warming, optimistic yellow

Brewers Bedford Supports the Big Trunk Trail

The Big Trunk Trail - Sarah and Acorn — Image courtesy of rucookphotography.com

Sarah Harrison, local Bedford artist reached out to Brewers Bedford for the donation of Albany Smooth Masonry paint in a range of colours to support The Big Trunk Trail. Canary, Mariner Blue, Sapling, Spring, Channel Blue, Black, Bronze Gold, Plum, Sky, Blossom and Deep Pink were just some of the colours used in the vibrant piece.

The Big Trunk Trail brought together communities and visitors across Luton at their biggest and most unique outdoor public art event. Over 30 giant elephants were decorated and placed in Luton’s key landmarks, streets, and open spaces for people to come and discover.

Wild in Art and Keech Hospice Care were in partnership with Love Luton and others to bring The Big Trunk Trail to Luton between 10th July – 8th October 2021. Sarah Harrison was one of the 30 selected artists commissioned to paint one of the elephant sculptures.

The elephants are made from fibreglass, finished in white primer with outdoor waterproofing varnish. Brewers Bedford were more than happy to supply the rest of the materials required to help Sarah achieve her design.

“Trunks through Changing Seasons” or as he is more affectionately known, “Acorn” was painted between March-May 2021 and adorns a beautifully bright representation of trees throughout the changing seasons.

“My dream has been to work big, and to work outdoors. It has been so exciting to participate in my first ‘Wild in Art’ project, meeting and learning from other artists, then seeing the public’s reaction and interaction with the elephants has been amazing.

Art has the power to start conversations, spark joy and bring people together.

Public space is the ultimate gallery, accessible to all. With the added magic that passers-by can discover artwork, in streets or parks, unplanned and by chance.”

“The elephant sculptures have played a role in storytelling, community building and place-making, during their parade around Luton this summer.

The trail has combined creativity and walking, two great ingredients for wellbeing – with the timing particularly meaningful, whilst coming out of lockdown.”

“Thank you, Brewers, for your beautiful vibrant Albany masonry paints. They were such a treat to use, and people have commented on how lovely the colours are.” Sarah Harrison, Artist, Sarah Harrison Illustration.

All of the elephants are a part of a ticketed farewell event at Stockwood Discovery Centre this week (30 October – 7 November) before The Big Trunk Trial Charity Auction on 11th November. The 34 adult elephants will retire to their new homes, raising funs for Keech Hospice Care.
