CASE STUDY:
Royston Glass use AVKO Paint for glass in prestigious Torquay development
Royston Glass is a family business with over 20 years’ experience in specialist glass processing and installation.
They have recently been working on a project together with Symphony Kitchens, Havard Tisdale & Mansell Construction Services Ltd at the prestigious Abbey Sands Development in Torquay, which won the award for the Best Mixed-use Development (UK) at the UK Property Awards.
Royston Glass was chosen to install painted splashbacks in the kitchens of 20+ apartments in this stunning building. Our AVKOTE GP paint was used to spray the splashbacks. A combination of the colour Snowdrop (Royston Glass colour) and our sparkle effect paint were used to add the perfect finishing touch to the modern kitchen space.

Important Advice
We have produced these helpful video animations with important advice about using our products. If you have any questions, you can contact us at [email protected].
Advice for stirring and shaking the paints
When paint is left to stand for a while for example during delivery or when it’s on a shelf, the paint mix can separate inside the tin. This uneven mix can result in differences in colour, problems with coverage or potential adhesion issues.
Before using any AVKOTE paint product, stir or shake the paint thoroughly to ensure an even mix from the very first pour to the very last drip. Watch our video tutorial for more information and advice.
Advice for using correct mixing ratios of paint:activator
Whilst all AVKO paints will arrive thinned and almost ready to spray, they will need to be mixed in with an activator before you go ahead with your job. This will ensure proper adhesion for years to come.
The mixing ratio of paint to activator (usually a hardener) will vary from product to product, so it’s important you check the product information label on the paint can or our technical data sheet.
Staying safe whilst using specialist paints
It is important to adhere to safety advice when using any specialist paints whether it’s for glass, plastic, wood, GRP or metal.
Protective clothing (PPE) such as a spray suit, gloves and an air-fed mask should be worn at all times when using AVKO products. We also offer advice on spray booth set-up on our website. Our sales team are also happy to help with any queries you have.
If spraying on-site, make sure that you are applying the product in a well-ventilated area as well as that you are wearing the appropriate PPE.
Each can of paint comes with a unique label which details specific safety information related to that product. All of our technical data sheets are available on our website as well as material safety data sheets, which can be requested from our sales team.
