Crown Trade claim that to obtain the best all round results in new build environments, most house builders and their contractors would be better off moving away from their alkyd based gloss coatings to Crown's New Build Acrylic Gloss System.
The company state the '2010 compliant' glosses produced by all paint manufacturers using alkyd technology can 'yellow' more quickly than their previous formulations when subjected to particular conditions, such as a lack of natural light which can be a feature of many new build developments, particularly new apartment buildings.
The Crown Trade New Build Acrylic Gloss System is a more eco-friendly trim coating than traditional gloss and one which will not lose its whiteness over time, whatever the conditions. The combination of the New Build Acrylic Primer Undercoat followed by two coats of New Build Acrylic Gloss retains its sheen level and offers a closer match to the acrylic pre-finished materials which are increasingly being used for doors and other interior fittings. It also has less odour than traditional gloss with a much lower risk of sagging.
