Private housing
Fleetwood – your paint partners
Different residential situations demand different types of coatings. For landlords, keeping the maintenance cycle to an acceptable level is essential – you don’t want to be redecorating after every tenant, especially for short-term lets. Paints such as Fleetwood Trade Vinyl Matt create visually pleasing results while providing scrubbable, durable surfaces that can be easily cleaned and maintained with minimum fuss.
Other considerations for rented properties include paints that prevent mould growth and improve indoor air quality, such as Fleetwood Air + Eco paints, an advanced paint system that actively ‘scrubs’ the air and removes up to 80% of formaldehyde and other air pollutants for a healthier environment.
Owner-occupier homes
For professionals tasked with redecorating residential properties, there are a lot of variables to consider. What kind of a property is it?Is it a new build or a heritage home?
What are the client’s preferences?
And are there any technical considerations to include, such as the requirement for breathable coatings or long-lasting, weather-resistant exterior paints?
All of these need to be taken into account, as well as the colour palette. Different parts of the property will demand different types of paint. Aesthetically, the colour palette chosen needs to flow naturally, connecting spaces and creating the right atmosphere. It also needs to include the personal preferences of the individual. If you’re a professional decorator, your personal liking for cool colours may not gel with your customer’s love of bright reds or purples. This is where Fleetwood’s experienced design team can help. They can provide professional, expert advice on colour combinations and the practical qualities of Fleetwood Paints for different zones within a property.
Entrance halls and reception areas
Make the right first impression as soon as you open the door with an entrance that feels warm, welcoming and inviting. Clean, simple colours and washable surfaces that stay looking pristine are what’s required here, with Fleetwood’s Trade Vinyl Washable Matt a simple, low-maintenance choice. Other options include Fleetwood Air + Eco Washable Matt, which actively improves indoor air quality and is scrub-resistant.
Bathrooms
Cleanliness and hygiene are the top considerations, with paints and coatings that can actively cope with warm, humid environments and prevent mould growth with anti-bacterial properties. Fleetwood Bio Tec, with its Silver Ion technology, can prevent mould growth and stop stains, while Fleetwood Advanced Eggshell offers a practical alternative that dries quickly and produces a visually pleasing satin finish.
Kitchens
Similar to bathrooms, the top priorities in kitchens are coatings that can withstand humidity and higher temperatures without degrading. Fleetwood Advanced Eggshell is a natural choice, accompanied by Advanced Gloss for trims, to create a brighter, more hygienic kitchen.
Living areas
Beautiful living rooms should be soothing, relaxing and tranquil spaces where you can truly unwind, spend quality time together or just chill out in front of the TV. Subtle colour combinations or feature walls, modern tones or heritage colours, Fleetwood interior paints offer it all, along with scuff and stain resistance. Fleetwood Vinyl Washable Matt offers a low-sheen, washable finish in a myriad of different colours for every interior design choice. Fleetwood Trade Vinyl Matt is ideal for plasterboard walls as it allows the plaster to ‘breathe’, reducing the chance of cracking or flaking.
Bedrooms
Add some restful tones into any bedroom, creating an oasis of tranquillity and peace. Fleetwood Air + Eco Vinyl Matt is a fast-drying, low-odour and low-VOC option that actively improves indoor air quality, making it ideal for bedrooms.
Stairwells and hallways
High-traffic spaces such as stairwells and hallways need robust, durable paint, especially in multi-occupancy residential buildings. Fleetwood’s Pro Clean Washable or Easy Clean Washable Matt paints are ideal candidates thanks to their scrubability rating and durable, long-lasting finish.
Exteriors
Make the outside as attractive as the inside with a coating that has an 18-year guarantee. Fleetwood’s Weather Clad exterior paint, with its unique Triple Lock System, is the perfect choice for creating a visually pleasing exterior that will last and last, no matter what the weather throws at it. Weather Clad prevents the growth of moss, algae and mould, and prevents dirt from accumulating on painted surfaces with a tried and tested formula that can withstand the elements for years.
