TAKE THE STRAIN OUT OF STAIN REMOVAL
WITH CROWN TRADE
As regular and rigorous cleaning can wear away the paint finish and leave décor
looking tired, Crown Trade’s market-leading Clean Extreme Stain Resistant
Scrubbable paints are providing specifiers with the perfect solution to reducing
maintenance requirements and helping surfaces retain that ‘just decorated’
appeal for longer.
The high-performance formulation
of Crown Trade’s Clean Extreme Stain
Resistant Scrubbable Matt and Acrylic
Eggshell o ers exceptional durability,
combining the dual benefits of
helping to prevent stains from forming
on the paint surface and being able
to withstand regular cleaning by
minimising the amount of paint film
that is removed each time.
Based upon the ISO 11998 testing
method, which is the industry standard for determining the wet scrub resistance
of dry paint film, Crown Trade’s Clean Extreme Scrubbable Matt achieved a Class
1 rating and has an impressive durability level of 10,000 scrubs. This equates
to a 400 per cent increase in resistance to wet scrubbing when compared to
conventional matt emulsions. Crown Trade’s Clean Extreme Stain Resistant
Scrubbable Matt was also recently voted ‘Best Trade Durable Matt in the Market’
by the Decorators Forum - an online hub for thousands of professional painters
and decorators across the UK.
For specific problem areas, Crown Trade has also developed its Clean Extreme
Anti-Bacterial and Clean Extreme Mould Inhibiting paints.

12TH CENTURY ABBEY SELECTS ADVANCED
TO PROTECT ITS PRICELESS ARTIFACTS
Jedburgh Abbey, a 12th century Augustinian abbey located on the Scottish
Borders, has selected the
industry-leading MxPro 5
panel, from Advanced, to
protect a rich heritage of
treasures on display in its
visitor centre.
Founded by David I, King of
the Scots, nearly 1000 years
ago and famed for its unusual
architecture, Jedburgh
Abbey is one of the four great
abbeys established in the
Scottish Borders. The Abbey’s museum houses some of the famous works of art
associated with the early history of the site and some of the artefacts discovered
during excavations.
Advanced were specified by the team at SAFE Services who were appointed to
design, install and commission the replacement of an ageing fire system within
the Abbey visitor centre, gi shop, sta rooms and o ices, utilising existing cable
runs and containments to avoid exposed wiring.
Graeme Millar, Fire Systems Technical and Sales Engineer at SAFE Services,
said: “We have worked with Advanced for many years and as our first choice for
addressable fire panels we have installed them in a wide variety of locations.
The MxPro 5 was ideally suited for this project due to its high reliability and open
protocol which meant that we could more easily replace the old system at a
lower cost to the customer.”
