![Construction News Image](https://www.construction.co.uk/newsimages/1_309169_EcoPaint.jpg)
Eco paint specialists Thorndown have launched a new range of premium wall paint designed with performance and the planet in mind.
Available in 56 shades, Thorndown's Wall Paint is a stunning flat matt high-performance paint boasting excellent eco credentials.
It is manufactured from sustainable, recycled and recyclable raw materials, with minimal VOCs and odour.
Plus, with architectural exterior-grade colour pigments that perform at the highest levels in light resistance and durability tests, the paint colours stay strong and true for many, many years.
Ben Thornborough, Thorndown's Managing Director and Mixologist, said: "As with all our paints, performance, people and the planet come first. We use 100% recycled plastics resin in our wall paint, blended with another highly durable resin, along with the best VOC free exterior grade colour pigments.
"And the result is what we feel is the best interior wall paint on the market, tested and proven to be much tougher and longer-lasting than other premium brands."
As well as walls and ceilings, the paint is suitable for use across the home from metal radiators and interior woodwork to door frames and furniture. It can even be used on exterior timber and wooden furnishings.
Caroline Thornborough, Thorndown’s Design Director, said: "It was really important to us to create an interior wall paint that had the same eco credentials as our exterior wood paint. We are thrilled to offer a complete high-performance paint range for both the home and garden.”
There are 56 colours in the core collection, with an elegant heritage palette to suit all spaces. Thorndown can also create over 1800 RAL Classic and Design colours, 2050 NCS, 434 British Standard BS318C, BS4800 and BS525F, and Pantone C Colours."
Caroline added: "This collection is all about embracing joyful colour."
Inspired by the rich and beautiful countryside surrounding the paint factory in Glastonbury, Somerset, Thorndown paints are inspired by and named after flora, fauna, people and places found within.
Thorndown's range of wall paint is available now from Thorndown, priced at £22 for a 750ml tin.
