Ilumitex® is manufactured in the UK by Pittaway Special Coatings Ltd., a family-owned and run company with origins dating back to 1918.
Pittaway Special Coatings has a wealth of experience in decorative wall covering solutions, with this expertise leading to the development of Ilumitex® in 1978. This solid foundation has enabled the growth and success of Ilumitex®, as a leading wall decorative brand in both the UK and across the globe.
Continued investment has resulted in the ongoing development of both the Ilumitex® and Ilumitextra® brands. New flake colours are introduced and launched regularly. The entire Ilumitex® range has been developed with a dedication to quality and use of water-based environmentally friendly paints. More recent development work has focussed on the introduction of ultraviolet flake colours.
The Ilumitex® product application process follows a comprehensive method of application. Standard paint preparation of the interior surface to achieve best results.
A specially formulated thick base is applied by brush and roller. Whilst still wet, the PVA flakes are applied by an Ilumitex® gun. Once the base coat and flakes are completely dry loose flakes are removed by rubbing the surface down. This is then followed by the application of a lacquer sealant overcoat, available in a choice of five different lacquer finishes, to suit your requirements.
For further information on the application process please access Technical Sheets and the leaflet titled Application of Ilumitex® Process.
