considering the finish to use on any architectural component, a multitude
of factors come into play:- 'How long will the finish last?', 'Will
the finish withstand impact?', 'How many colours can I choose from?'
etc. The following table compares properties and features of various
finishing alternatives: |

| Syntha
Pulvin® now has almost 35 years real
time exposure in UK. Our first major project 'George House'
was completed in 1973.
A
full survey and inspection of the building carried out in
February 2006 confirmed that 'The coating, although showing
signs of wear, is still protecting the substrate from corrosion'
* (*Qualiserve Consultancy February 7th 2006)
The
Syntha Pulvin coating, used here in 1973, was at that time,
a 10 year guaranteed product. It's near 35 year (and on-going)
performance exemplifies the protection and decorative qualities
of the Syntha Pulvin system.
