Whether you need to paint the interior or exterior of your hotel or both, one thing is for certain, the finished look of your hotel’s exterior and interior will need to create a fantastic first impression to really impress your guests, while at the same time retaining all the heritage and history of the building. The finished look will be impacted by both the colours that you select and the type of paint that is used.

Refurbishing any building is also an expensive task, therefore using decorative coatings that will give a long lasting performance and an extended redecoration cycle, typically lasting between 8 and 10 years can make surfaces look better for longer, saving time and money. Maintenance cycles can be extended by using three part systems comprising of a preservative primer, flexible undercoat and top coat.

For a hotel interior, extremely durable paint products which withstand rigorous cleaning and maintain a pristine appearance in heavy traffic, such as in the reception and corridor spaces are ideal. A matt finish works well with the historic features of a boutique hotel to deliver a durable finish that brings out the building’s historic features. Also, paints which contain an in-film bactericide which inhibits bacteria and increases its activity against bacteria when washed and scrubbed are perfect for a hotel kitchen and laundry room.

For the exterior of the hotel, there are a number of coatings to ensure the hotel exterior woodwork will not only retain its natural beauty, but are also extremely durable and quick to apply.  External windows and doors can be rejuvenated by applying a primer and two coats of a premium coating which has both a high aesthetic appeal and offers outstanding performance in terms of colour retention, sheen and durability. A masonry paint can be used on external walls, while woodwork can be protected with a coating which offers a high level of protection from water and the effects of UV rays, as well as reducing blistering, cracking and peeling.

Colour plays an important role in creating a very special atmosphere in a hotel. Whether you have a modern hotel in need of a touch of drama, a historical B&B that you would like to restore to a certain time period, or a spa hotel to replicate nature, the colours chosen need to compliment your brand, deliver the right message and draw attention to the right features. For example, a fitting colour scheme could be to use a palette of earthy tones reminiscent of a hotel’s past, with accents of fresher, contemporary shades, to ensure you will be able to bring elements of the old and the new together to create a fantastic environment.

In conclusion, there are a number of premium coatings on the market currently to enhance your hotel exteriors and interiors, both in terms of functionality and aesthetics, ultimately allowing your hotel to be brought back to life.
