Sealed Flake – Ilumitextra

Glitter & Sparkle, Sealed for Life

Bring some glitter and sparkle into your home or business with Ilumitextra — a metallic flake finish sealed under a hard-wearing lacquer, making it smooth, durable and completely waterproof. That combination is what sets it apart: all the drama of a glitter finish, in places a glitter finish usually can't go.

The well-defined, tastefully selected multicolour flake combinations produce a luxurious, lightly surfaced visual texture, yet the final coat of lacquer leaves a comparatively smooth surface that wipes — or scrubs — clean. The metallic flakes are non-tarnishable, and because the finish is completely continuous there's no shrinkage or opening of joints as can happen with jointed wall coverings.

Great for kitchen splash backs, bathrooms, feature walls and ceilings — we can even refresh kitchen units with it. We offer hundreds of different colour and finish variations, including soft colour blends.

"Just had this done as a feature wall in a bedroom. Absolutely gorgeous."

Maureen Shaw

It is not only for walls

We have added a beautiful and stunning finish to a floor with our black and bronze Ilumitextra colour blends. Very hard wearing and fully waterproof makes this a very desirable finish underfoot as well as on a wall — see the film below.

"It's fantastic stuff. 5 big dogs hasn't touched the finish. Still very happy with mine."
