Albany Around the House

Albany is a quality paint brand which is exclusive to Brewers. Created by Clement Brewer in 1920, Albany was named to reflect the high standards of décor which were found in the flats just off London’s Piccadilly. The brand is just as strong today thanks to its consistent quality in which the decorator and homeowner can trust. Albany has a wide range, with interior and exterior applications, adding up to the complete painting system required for all types of projects. From traditional gloss to durable matt, every type of finish is represented across the range. Every colour too! Albany has over 800 shades including 112 curated colours completing the exclusive design collection. You can view the Albany colour cards here.
