Glidden Trade, have launched a new Trade Exclusive Colour Range, with 70 new colours, extending their range to 150 shades.
The extended range of colours can be seen on a new colour card, which features easy to read information on the new products and colours.
Suneal Gill, brand manager of Glidden Trade, says: “We already have an established core range of paint. Now our new Trade Exclusive Colour Range, which has had very positive feedback, offers even more choice for decorators and specifiers to pass on to clients.
“Supporting it, the colour card will be an invaluable tool to give users more confidence when presenting the expanded colour range and their ideas to clients. Its simplicity means product details are easy to find and understand, while information about the entire Glidden Trade product and colour range is in one place to save trade professionals having to carry large amounts of literature around with them.”
As an added feature, the new colour card incorporates details of the Light Reflective Value (LRV) of Glidden Trade Exclusive colours – vital advice for specifiers creating colour schemes in buildings such as hospitals and nursing homes which have to take into consideration the needs of individuals with visual impairments. The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) recommends that adjacent critical surfaces have a LRV difference greater than 30 in order to maximise visual contrast, so selecting suitable colour schemes is quick and straightforward using the facts on the card.
