Swimming Pool and Leisure Centre Paints

Leisure centre, gymnasium and sports centre paints, varnishes and coatings are now available to buy at Rawlins Paints, all offering long-term protection, colour rejuvenation and visually pleasing aesthetics to compliment your company's branding. From hygienic paints and coatings for locker and changing rooms, kitchen and cafe facilities, to multi-surface paints for activity areas, reception bays and conference rooms, there has never been a better time, or selection of products, to conduct low-level maintenance work or re-brand and re-launch a leisure centre.

The focal point of many leisure centres is the swimming pool, from paddling pool to Olympic size, and with the right swimming pool paint, downtime can be kept to a minimum as refurbishment work is done in time for the summer holidays. The surrounding walkways and showers may also need an anti-slip coating or scrubbable paint for the walls, all available at rawlinspaints.com.

Swimming Pool Paint

Taken from Rawlins Paints' blog-post 'A Guide to Swimming Pool Paints and Primers' - When it comes to painting a pool you have to think about a lot. Not only is water involved, but there’s also chlorine to deal with! If you don’t get the right products for the job, the paintwork in and around your pool won’t last very long. Additionally, the right swimming pool paints can help to extend the life of your pool area.

Standard paint won’t last well in swimming pool conditions even out of the water so you should use specialist paints. Zinsser Perma-White Interior is an excellent paint for swimming pool walls and ceilings and trim around the swimming pool. It is a durable, water-based, very low odour finish containing a biocide that protects the dried coating against mould and mildew – guaranteed for 5 years. It is ideally suited for any area of persistent high humidity, frequent temperature changes and poor air circulation.

If you need to paint the swimming pool itself, then Teamac Chlorvar Chlorinated Rubber Paint will give you an excellent finish. It’s not only resistant to salt water, but a wide range of chemicals. This is useful, as you need to use different chemicals to treat your pool. You can even use it outdoors or indoors!

Leisure Centre Wall Paints

Leisure centre walls are frequently cleaned of marks and scuffs, condensation, etc, therefore the wall coating should be durable and scrubbable whilst maintaining a clean and hygienic finish that is ideal for changing areas, bathing, courts, etc for public use and schools and universities. Easy to clean, durable and available in many colours, if maintained correctly these wall coatings will last for a substantial amount of time.

Sikagard 405 W is another tough and highly durable wall coating (professional-use only) with good resistance to repeated cleaning and disinfection regimes, using mild detergents and cleaning solutions commonly used in healthcare facilities, spa and treatment rooms, and to thoroughly clean sports centres.
