This made it an ideal choice for these high-traffic areas as it can withstand the large volume of students using the building each day. Dulux Trade Diamond Matt is also 99.9% volatile organic compound free and compliant with BREEAM and LEED certifications, making it a more sustainable selection too. In addition, Dulux Trade Diamond Satinwood was used on the internal pre-primed timber doors, skirting, metal stairwell rails, metal encasement panels and architraves.

It will be a fantastic living and social environment for the students with wellness at its centre but will also play a significant role in bridging the gap between supply and demand in Belfast for student accommodation.”
