ReColour feature wall brightens up Changing Lives

Thursday 11th October 2018

Community RePaint Cheshire, run by Changing Lives, redecorate using ReColour paint.

Community RePaint Cheshire run by Changing Lives Together chose to paint a feature wall at their scheme. They decided on ReColour emulsion in Gilbert Green, and it has really brightened up the space. We think it looks great!

If it is not reused, what happens to waste paint? If it is not reused, what happens to waste paint? ❌

Unfortunately, due to a lack of information on correct disposal, paint still ends up in general waste and even worst, down the drain. This causes huge issues with waste contamination, drain blockages and leads to chemicals leaking into the environment, harming ecosystems and aquatic life. With more than 50 million litres of paint wasted a year, and most of it sent for incineration – this is a huge problem.

In the most recent article on our website, we look at the solution β™»πŸ’š

Matt or Silk? πŸ€” Silk or soft sheen is ideal fo Matt or Silk? πŸ€”

Silk or soft sheen is ideal for those who prefer a shinier look. For example, bathroom and kitchen emulsions offer a moisture-resistant soft-sheen finish which is well suited to high condensation areas and easy to clean.

Matt finishes, on the other hand, are better at covering imperfect surfaces, as they reflect less light, making the surface appear flatter and can make rooms feel cosier. However, in general, they do not tolerate cleaning and are slightly less durable than the higher sheen finishes.
