Introducing self-priming, ultra-durable finishes for every surface

June 12th, 2023
Paint & Paper Library

The reformulated Architects’ finishes from Paint & Paper Library offer the opportunity to embrace colour across every surface for uninterrupted design schemes. With cutting-edge, multi-surface adhesion formulations, a single tin of paint can be used to paint walls, ceilings, woodwork, metalwork, uPVC and tiles, as well as all exterior surfaces, without the need for a separate primer.

Paint & Paper Library offers an entirely water-based range of Architects’ finishes that boast superior coverage and long-lasting durability, alongside their rich depth of colour. In a choice of sheen levels that includes Matt, Eggshell, Satinwood and Gloss, each finish is available in the complete Paint & Paper Library palette to afford complete freedom when it comes to creating unique and innovative design schemes in both classic and contemporary interiors.

The Architects’ range of finishes have been reformulated to provide paints that are self-priming with revolutionary multi-surface adhesion abilities. Every Architects’ finish is now suitable for both interior and exterior use, meaning Paint & Paper Library colours can be used on virtually any surface, inside and outside, without the need for a separate primer. Whether you are designing an impactful entrance and hallway, or a sophisticated kitchen scheme that leads out onto a patio dining space, you can utilise Paint & Paper Library colours and finishes to achieve seamless flow.

These incredibly hardwearing finishes can be applied directly to plaster, render, woodwork, metalwork, glass, ceramic tiles and uPVC. A single tin of Architects’ Matt can be used across walls, ceilings, woodwork and more, to create a truly immersive, colour-drenched scheme that showcases the complex pigmentation of Paint & Paper Library shades. Or combine different finishes and colours from the Paint & Paper Library palette to create compelling, contemporary schemes that are also practical for the modern home.

Andy Greenall, Head of Design at Paint & Paper Library, writes: “This collection will transform how we decorate, allowing designers and homeowners alike complete control of where and how they use colour. The self-priming and durable nature of these formulations means our entire range of colours can be used on virtually any surface.

Those motivated by the beautiful interplay of light on a matt surface can use Architects’ Matt across walls, woodwork, radiators and tiles. This stunning matt finish is as effective and hard wearing on woodwork as a conventional, higher sheen paint.

The range of finishes, from the chalky Pure Flat Emulsion to the higher sheen Architects’ Satinwood and now water-based Architect’ Gloss, offers the opportunity to really play with sheen levels and their effect on colour.”
