Dulux Vinyl Matt just the job for major London hotel project

Nestled in the shadow of The Gherkin and just a short walk from the Tower of London, the Dorsett City Hotel is the perfect hotel choice for both business and leisure travellers.

The 13-storey hotel boasts 267 rooms as well as two restaurants, a 24-hour gym, four meeting rooms and a superb rooftop terrace bar offering panoramic views of the London skyline.

Contract Direct customer, Cement Glaze, recently worked on a major refurbishment of the top three floors of the Dorsett City.

Cemglaze have built up a strong reputation for high-quality work over more than 70 years and managing director Denis Harley Snr told us about his company's ethos and why they come back to Dulux products again and again.

"With over 75 years involvement in the painting and decorating industry, Cemglaze has built a solid reputation in delivering a professional finish every time," says Denis.

"Our reputation is built upon quality. We work on numerous sites at the one time and it's important that the same high finish is carried throughout all these projects, large or small.

"Using Dulux paints and varnishes make our job a lot easier and peace of mind knowing the client will get a great finish. Having used the new Dulux Vinyl Matt on recent projects we can definitely say that Dulux have raised the bar again. Our painters (over 70 of them) all report that it is easier to apply, cuts in sharper and leaves a smoother finish - great for leaving a high-end finish.

"Being a family business, we fully intend to be around for another 75 years and with the help of Dulux we definitely will," he adds.

Denis enjoys a good relationship with his Dulux Contract Development Manager, Ashley Eyers, who highlights how well-suited Dulux products are to these types of project.

Ashley says: "It is great to see quality contractors like Cement Glaze endorsing our products on high-profile jobs such as the Dorsett Hotel.

"This new formula Vinyl Matt has worked extremely well for the client and the contractor alike. It's no surprise at all there have been no issues on this job as Cement Glaze and Dulux means 'job done every time'".
