The project

The decision to use Ilumitex for the main stairwell walls of this London-based primary school was made on the many benefits the system offered. Durability was a key deciding factor in selecting Ilumitex, given the constant wear and tear that the stairwell walls were subjected to. With a strong commitment to sustainability, the school was also delighted to learn that Ilumitex uses water-based, environmentally friendly paints. Ilumitex was sourced through a Dulux Merchant and applied to the interior main stairwell walls of the school in 2019.

Specification

The school opted for a special combination of Ilumitex 416 with the addition of 50% white flakes and a white base coat.

This shows the limitless range of flake colours and effects that can be achieved using the Ilumitex system. The lacquer overcoat used to seal the flakes provided a comparatively smooth surface, that is easy for the school to clean and maintain. The visual aesthetic produced using Ilumitex created an inviting learning environment that is both engaging and welcoming.

The durability of Ilumitex for this high-traffic stairwell area of the school has proved to be exceptional. The ability of Ilumitex to withstand constant wear and tear has reduced the need for costly redecoration programmes, that is required with conventional paint. Ilumitex has brought significant cost savings benefits to the school and continues to do so.
