Albany has announced the launch of its new and improved professional paint range – now available in store at Brewers Decorator Centres.
It’s Time To Make A Change
Say hello to Albany; the same, trusted brand you know but with a new look and improved performance.
This marks one of the most important developments in Albany’s history. Driven by a commitment to never stand still, the range has been reformulated to deliver even greater quality, improved opacity, enhanced colour accuracy and increased coverage across the range.
The result? The best Albany paint ever produced.
Tried, Tested And Trusted
Every product in the new range has been put through a rigorous three-stage testing process designed to ensure it performs where it matters most – on the job.
The journey began with extensive blind testing, where paints were brushed, rolled and sprayed across a variety of substrates to assess application, coverage and finish. The leading formulations were then handed over to the people who know paint best: professional decorators.
64 decorators from across the UK tested the products in in real-world decorating environments, scoring them against the same performance criteria used in the blind test. The top-performing formulations were then independently assessed by a specialist testing house, where the entire lifespan of the coating was scrutinised.
Why Should You Try The New Albany Range?
Your reputation is only as strong as your last job. That’s why Albany is designed to give decorators confidence from the first coat to the final finish.
With excellent coverage, faster drying times and durable, long-lasting performance, Albany helps you achieve reliable results time and time again. It’s the smart choice for every decorating challenge, delivering quality and value without compromise.
And the decorators who tested it agree:
Meet the Four Products You Must Try!
Easier to apply, improved spray performance and a dependable finish.
Improved application, mould resistant and a class 1 scrub rating.
A lighter paint with non-spatter and packed with matting agents to hide imperfections.
Improved durability and mould protection and a class 1 scrub rating.
The Albany Story
The Albany story began in 1920, when Clement Brewer introduced a wallpaper collection inspired by London's prestigious Albany Mansions. Paint soon followed, and over the decades Albany has grown into a trusted decorating brand recognised for quality, reliability and practical innovation.
For over 100 years, Albany has been helping decorators tackle every decorating challenge with confidence. From paint and wallpaper to innovative decorating solutions, the brand has built its reputation by listening to decorators, understanding the job and creating products that deliver where it counts.
Today, that same commitment continues. Every Albany product is developed with one goal in mind: to provide smart solutions for savvy decorators.
Brewers CEO, Simon Brewer said: ‘I’m delighted with the work that’s been done to develop the new Albany paints, the quality of the product, the pricing and the brand too. It's time to launch the new brand to the market, we’re confident our customers are going to love it!’
The Albany Design Collection
Alongside the reformulated paint range, Albany has also refreshed its colour card with the Albany Design Collection – a carefully selected palette of 128 shades chosen from the wider Albany colour range. Combining bestselling favourites, timeless classics, trend-led tones and some of the brand's own favourites, the collection has been designed to make colour selection simpler and more inspiring.
Organised across whites, pale tones, mid tones and deep tones, the collection gives decorators and homeowners the flexibility to create everything from calm, understated spaces to bold, characterful interiors. Supported by improved colour accuracy across the new paint range, the collection is designed to give customers greater confidence when choosing and using colour.
Where To Get Your Hands On The New Albany Paints
The new and improved Albany professional paint range is now available to buy in Brewers stores and will be available online at brewers.co.uk from July.
