Albany Around the House - Finding The Perfect Paint Finish For Your Project

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 with a wide range of paint finishes for both interior and exterior projects. 

From traditional Gloss to Durable Matt and the brand new Albany woodcare range, every type of finish is represented across the range - and in every colour too! Albany has over 800 shades including 112 curated colours completing the exclusive design collection.
