Dulux for Elite Officer Academy
Dulux Trade Weathershield Exterior Gloss System (WEGS) has been specified to provide long-lasting protection to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst (RMAS) in Surrey. As part of a major refurbishment of the iconic officer training facility, the three part system was applied to over 300 sash windows.
The extensive refurbishment project – which included the installation of a new lead roof, replacement of exterior masonry and guttering, as well as the refurbishment of the building’s window trim – was completed by Interserve, the international support services and construction group.
Andy Meachen, project manager at Interserve, said: “We were tasked to enhance the building’s aesthetics and improve parts of the building which had experienced general wear and tear. For the painting work, a key requirement was to ensure the finish would last for a very long time. Therefore, we needed to use a premium product befitting this prestigious project.”
Painting sub-contractors Jorgenson recommended the Dulux Trade range to the client, and the Weathershield Exterior Gloss System (WEGS) was specified for the interior and exterior sash windows due to its long-lasting, high gloss finish and because it offers up to eight years’ protection.
Commenting on the finished result, Andy concluded: “The high quality work undertaken by Jorgensen coupled with the use of premium products has resulted in a brilliant finish. By using quality, durable products we can guarantee that it will continue to look impressive for years to come.”
