The latest advancements in coating technologies offer architects and designers a range of options that can transform the aesthetics of any space, without having to compromise on quality.

Our Clean Extreme range has been developed to deliver a beautiful finish with high durability, withstanding constant abuse and repetitive cleaning, which can contribute towards sustainability credentials by extending maintenance cycles.

Each product within the range delivers unique benefits, engineered to meet the specific needs of a range of different projects, ensuring quality without compromise every time.

Clean Extreme Clean Air

Crown Trade Clean Air is the latest edition to the Clean Extreme range. It is BREEAM and LEED compliant and offers high quality and performance whilst minimising the impact on the environment.

The formula contains advanced air purifying technology that removes up to 45 per cent of formaldehyde from the air, helping to improve indoor air quality from the very first coat.

Being exposed to high levels of formaldehyde can cause health implications including skin rashes, shortness of breath, wheezing and changes in lung function. And with all new properties in the UK being built to higher insulation specifications in a bid to save energy – less air is able to move in and out of the buildings, which can cause formaldehyde to stay in the property for longer.

Crown Trade Clean Air absorbs these chemicals and reduce the amount of formaldehyde particles in the air, leading to an improved indoor air quality for occupants.

The paint has been expertly developed by Crown’s in-house technical team and expert chemists; and is also 99.7% free of VOCs.

 VOCs are chemicals used in the production of a wide range of materials, including building materials like paint and varnishes, as well as aerosol sprays and cleaning products. The chemicals vaporise and are emitted into the air, and as well as contributing to air pollution they can have negative health impacts, in some cases even causing damage to the liver, kidneys, or central nervous system.

Crown Trade Clean Air also contains Crown’s unique breatheasy ® technology, which ensures the paint is it’s 99% solvent free, and asthma and allergy friendly®.

As part of the highly rated Clean Extreme range, Clean Air is highly durable, with a class 1 scrub rating – meaning it looks new for longer, helping to extend maintenance cycles as spaces will need to be redecorated less often.

 

Clean Extreme Stain Resistant

Designed to combat the rigors of even the most demanding spaces, Crown Trade Clean Extreme Stain Resistant paint offers exceptional durability, allowing new and old stains to be easily cleaned away.

Available in both Scrubbable Matt and Acrylic Eggshell finishes, the paint is engineered to provide a 100% greater stain resistance than a conventional matt vinyl emulsion and to endure 10,000 scrubs without compromising its finish.

Ideal for interior use, it can be used on walls, ceilings, wood and metal, and can be tinted in thousands of colours to meet individual specifications.

This high durability means that this paint is the ideal choice for high-footfall areas, such as schools, retail stores, hotels and restaurants.

Clean Extreme Anti-Bacterial

In environments where hygiene is critical, such as hospitals and healthcare facilities, wall coatings can play a significant role in maintaining a clean and safe environment.

Offering a dual-purpose solution that is stain resistant and defensive against bacteria, our Clean Extreme Antibacterial paint provides an industry-leading combination of durability and antibacterial properties, giving you perfect solution for healthcare specifications where infection control and cleanliness are top priorities.

Using independently tested SteriTouch® Silver Ion Technology, Crown Trade Clean Extreme Antibacterial Scrubbable Matt and Acrylic Eggshell fight bacteria including MRSA and E.Coli to help create and maintain clean and hygienic surfaces.

Beyond its antibacterial properties, Clean Extreme Anti-Bacterial also offers significant practical benefits.

Like all products in the Clean Extreme range, it is designed to withstand the wear and tear of daily use – independently tested to meet the ISO 11998 Class 1 scrub rating, so you can be confident it can be cleaned repeatedly without compromising its finish.

Its superior stain resistance means that both new and aged stains can be removed with ease, helping to maintain a sterile and clean appearance over time, and crucially extending maintenance cycles.

The paint is ideal for interior use, it can be used on walls, ceilings, wood and metal, and is available in thousands of colours, allowing for flexibility in design without sacrificing functionality.

Clean Extreme Mould Inhibiting

As winter approaches, environments with a lack of ventilation and wet conditions can create the optimal environment for mould and mildew to grow.

Moulds produce allergens, irritants, and sometimes toxic substances, that can have a negative impact on health, as well as cause structural damage to the property, from damaging floorboards to detreating insulation.

As well as keeping rooms ventilated, using specialist products can also help keep mould at bay.

For spaces susceptible to moisture and mould growth, our Clean Extreme Mould Inhibiting paint is the ultimate solution. As well as being highly resistant to stains, it is also robust enough to be repeatedly cleaned without any detriment to the finish, meaning mould can be treated without compromising the appearance of surfaces.

Clean Extreme Mould Inhibiting Scrubbable Matt boasts a high opacity matt formulation that provides exceptional durability even when scrubbed. The Acrylic Eggshell option provides a high-performance stain-resistant and washable mid-sheen finish.

Offering protection, durability and design flexibility, Clean Extreme Mould Inhibiting paints are available in a wide range of tinted colours. And, thanks to their water-based formulation, provide a quick-drying and low-odour solution.

The paint is ideal for social housing projects, as well as bathrooms and kitchens as these locations tend to build condensation more quickly, causing dampness.

With a solution for every setting, the Crown Trade Clean Extreme range ensures a professional finish that not only looks fantastic but also stands the test of time.

Visqueen launches Ultimate Self Adhesive Membrane for hydrocarbon and VOC-contaminated sites

The construction industry faces growing challenges when building on increasingly complex brownfield sites. Alongside the need for effective waterproofing, developers and contractors must now address a wider range of ground contaminants, including hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and hazardous ground gases, while maintaining programme efficiency and installation quality. Against this backdrop, Visqueen has expanded its gas protection and waterproofing portfolio with the launch of Visqueen Ultimate Self Adhesive Membrane, a new hydrocarbon and VOC-resistant self-adhesive tanking membrane. Developed as the latest addition to the Visqueen non-foil gas barrier range, the new membrane combines proven gas barrier and waterproofing performance to help specifiers address multiple site challenges with a single solution.

Siderise: Helping to bridge the gap between Gateway 2 approval and on-site fire protection

While the new building safety regime hasn’t fundamentally changed what requirements higher-risk buildings (HRBs) must meet to comply with the Building Regulations, it has significantly increased the breadth, depth and volume of evidence that must be supplied to demonstrate this. As a result, project teams have had to adapt the way they work and even look beyond their roles to understand how their actions may impact the next Dutyholder in the chain. For specifiers, this can include considering what supporting services are offered with life safety-critical elements to enable correct design, installation and maintenance. Early engagement with manufacturer technical specialists can help identify any practical challenges that may arise onsite. Then, during construction, these services can help support the translation of design intent into reality so that buildings are safe for occupation.
