Grant & Stone Ltd are suppliers of paint to the trade & retail in High Wycombe, Bucks.

Below is taken from Johnstones Paints website in March 09.

It’s official – when it comes to offering professional painters and decorators a matt emulsion with ultimate opacity, leading trade paint brand Johnstone’s has it covered.

Securing its position as one of the UK’s leading trade paint brands, rigorous independent blind tests conducted by the Paint Research Association (PRA) have revealed that Johnstone’s outperforms competitor brand Dulux in the key area of opacity on matt emulsions. With professional contractors claiming that opacity is one of the most important factors to consider when selecting a matt emulsion product, the results confirm what many existing users of Johnstone’s have already discovered for themselves. By undertaking such tests, Johnstone’s not only hopes to reassure trade users about the quality of its own product ranges but also provide valuable information about the difference in opacity between two of the biggest names in the UK trade paint market.

The independent opacity test, which was in accordance with the official quality standard BS EN ISO 2814:2006, compared the equivalent matt emulsions of both Johnstone’s and Dulux to find which products offered the highest opacity when applied at the maximum recommended spreading rate. The PRA tested the following product combinations, Johnstone’s Covaplus Vinyl Matt and Dulux Vinyl Matt, Johnstone’s Flat Matt and Dulux Flat Matt, Johnstone’s Acrylic Durable Matt and Dulux Diamond Matt and finally, Johnstone’s Jonmat and Dulux Supermatt. The results of the tests proved that each of the Johnstone’s matt products gave higher opacity levels than the Dulux equivalents at the maximum recommended spreading rate.

Johnstone’s official spokesperson Martijn Venema, comments: “We are obviously delighted with the findings of the independent tests conducted by the Paint Research Association and feel that Johnstone’s position as one of the leading trade brands in the UK is now firmly secured. We appreciate that opacity is one of the most important factors when specifying and using matt emulsions and we are extremely proud to now receive official confirmation that Johnstone’s outperforms Dulux in this area”.
