Luxury new build home benefits from the perfect finish with Valspar Trade

With a focus on creating luxury homes, Jam-Jar Developments turned to Valspar Trade for the interior of new-build Hornbeam House. A combination of Valspar Trade Vinyl Matt, Contract Matt, Tough Matt, Knot Block Wood Primer & Undercoat and Direct to Wood & Metal paint were used to meet the durability, scrubbability and colour specification requirements. 

Jam-Jar Developments recently purchased a section of land in Lincolnshire with the aim of building a series of new luxury homes on it, including Hornbeam House. 

Speaking about the project, Jared Newman, Owner at Jam-Jar Developments, explained: “We’ve been building each of these properties from scratch, with three already completed and Hornbeam House the fourth in the development. We’d used an alternate paint brand for the first three homes; however, we weren’t hugely impressed with the overall finish, finding there to be issues with coverage and scrubbability. As a result, we decided to switch to Valspar Trade for Hornbeam House to see if it performed any better.

“After completing the interior of Hornbeam House, we can safely say that it has made a considerable difference to the overall appearance. Not only is the Valspar Trade Tough Matt properly scrubbable but it’s also incredibly durable, not being as susceptible to marks and scratches as the other brands we had been using. We also needed a good wood paint, with the Valspar Trade Knot Block Wood Primer & Undercoat and Direct to Wood & Metal the ideal choice.

“One of the other issues we were having was regarding coverage and opacity. Other paints were taking as many as five coats to achieve the desired finish, which just wasn’t good enough. When it came to Valspar Trade, we found two coats did the job perfectly. With each tub going a long way, it’s saving us both time and money.”

Colour was another key consideration for Jam-Jar Developments, with the developer looking to create a contemporary and luxury feel. Jared explained: “We used a range of earthy tones for this project, including the Mythical Nights, Clay Figurine and Pretty Pale. This was another reason we turned to Valspar Trade, as we were aware of its excellent colour offering.”

Jared worked closely with local Trade Sales Specialist (TSS) Deborah Messenger on the project, taking advantage of Valspar Trade’s Direct2Site service. “We live quite far from our nearest TradePoint,” explained Jared. “So, when selecting the paint it made more sense to have it sent directly to the site. Deborah was very helpful here, supporting with site visits and calculating exact paint quantities based on site drawings and plans. The Direct2Site service made things far easier for us, avoiding repeated trips to the store to pick up additional paint and helping the project timescales to stay on track.”

With Hornbeam House now completed, Jam-Jar Developments has opened the property up for viewings and plans to use Valspar Trade for the remaining properties on the plot. 

Valspar Trade offers a range of high-quality paint essentials that are ideal for the residential and property development sector, including its Tough Matt emulsion. Specially formulated for walls and ceilings in high traffic areas, it is stain resistant and scrubbable, helping to prevent stains from setting into the surface. Its high opacity and superior covering power ensures excellent application for the perfect finish.
