Sports centre gets Dulux Trade treatment

Requiring urgent care and maintenance, the reception desk of the Lucozade Power Centre in Peterborough, has been treated with Diamond Glaze gloss varnish from Dulux Trade Woodcare, helping to breathe new life into the centre.  

The Lucozade Power Centre hosts five-a-side football matches and also has a bar and reception area for visitors. The reception desk, which is mostly wood finished, was deteriorating and required urgent maintenance in order to restore it to its former glory. The desk needed a glaze varnish that could stand up to the tests of the high wear surface, as frequent usage from staff and customers made the reception area one of the busiest in the centre.

Self-employed decorator, Robert Alexander, used Dulux Trade Woodcare’s Diamond Glaze varnish to help revive the reception area and was impressed with the results; “The high gloss finish was perfect for the job required. The surface of the reception desk was looking faded and forlorn, so I chose Diamond Glaze, which not only greatly enhanced the natural appearance of the wood, but will also protect it in the long run too since it is much tougher than other varnishes available.

“I only needed to apply three coats to get the desk looking great again. What’s more, I was able to complete the job very quickly, as it dried so fast. In the end, you wouldn’t know the difference between Diamond Glaze or an oil finish it looked so good – customers thought there had been a new reception desk installed.”

Ruth van Rensburg, General Manager of the centre, said: “The reception desk has now been restored to its natural colour, and looks like new. It is much easier to clean now, and it’s resistant to staining too. It’s fair to say that with 200 customers coming through our doors every day, the reception area definitely creates a more positive first impression now.”

Up to ten times tougher than conventional varnish, Dulux Trade’s Diamond Glaze is a simple ‘one pack’ system that is ideal for use on high wear interiors, such as work surfaces and floors, as it performs in busy interior pedestrian and public environments.

Available in clear gloss and satin finishes, it is formulated to maximise durability and optimising aesthetic effect with its beautiful clear finish. As a water-based system, it is also incredibly quick drying, allowing for recoating in two to four hours.
