Our Woodworks range offers outstanding systems for maximum wood protection and optimum finish. With different coatings for interior and exterior use, Woodworks offers numerous protective options to keep wood looking and feeling great, and the array of colours and finishes ensures that there are plenty of decorative options available.
Our Stormshield range of exterior finishes helps you properly protect the exteriors of buildings against the elements. We have developed these masonry, metal, and wood finishes for lasting protection, with BBA approved extended life expectancies from 8 to 15 years.
We now also offer a wide variety of fully certified external wall insulation (EWI) and render systems. EWI is a highly effective way of insulating a building, which works through the application of insulation panels to the exterior walls of a property, followed by coating them in a tough, durable, and attractive render system.
Our parent company, PPG Industries, is one of the world’s largest suppliers of paints, coatings, optical products, speciality materials, glass, and fibreglass. It was founded in 1883 and is based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.

PPG Industries operates in around 70 countries worldwide. In 2013, the average number of employees was 39,200 and net sales totalled $15.1 billion (which, at the time, was roughly £9.68 billion).
