West Lothian Council has specified Crown Trade Timinox for the internal redecoration of 28 apartment blocks within the Scottish District. The flame retardant paints were chosen for the project for their high performance characteristics and for durability and wide colour range, which meant that residents would benefit from a safe and attractive living environment. The walls and ceilings of the stairwells were painted in Crown Trade Timonox Acrylic Eggshell. In addition to the work carried out in the apartment blocks, West Lothian Council had previously used Crown Trade products on a number of other projects, including the redecoration of the stairs and public areas of Blackness Castle, a Grade II listed building, near Linlithgow.
