Quality Products Used by Professionals
At FORT, we’ve been around the block enough times to know that finding everything you need in one place can be difficult; even in larger stores. It can be hard to find supplies that the professionals use for a superior look. That’s why we have curated a wide range of products to help you get that professional, trade-approved finish without dragging yourself all over the UK!
Whether you’re sticking to a budget, or ready to splash out - FORT has the solutions that make great painting and decorating possible.
We found that customers’ needs were more than basic paint brushes and tins of emulsion. That’s why at FORT, we stock industry favourites from interior paint, exterior paint, specialist paint, woodcare, decorating sundries, and decorating tools. We believe you should be able to get everything you need in one place - and now you can!
Exploring Paint Colours and Finishes
Interior Paint
Finding the right paint to decorate the interior of your home can be difficult. Our team of experts is on hand to help you choose the perfect colour to suit your home. Not only that, but our paint tinting and mixing service allows us to mix an unlimited choice of colours on the spot - no hassle, no fuss. You’ll be ready to get home and start painting straight away!
You’re going to want to start the process with a good emulsion. At FORT, we stock a wide range of Johnstone’s Emulsion paints such as Acrylic Durable Matte in 2.5 litres or 5 litres. This is a high opacity, low-odour paint that can be used on both walls and ceilings. Don’t worry - we have other options available as well! Take a look at the full range of Emulsions in stock with FORT and see what our customers are using on a daily basis.
You’ll also find we stock a great range of Primers and Undercoats. The 2.5 litre Stormshield Flexible Primer Undercoat in Brilliant White provides premium quality, longer-lasting protection for exterior woodwork and suitably primed metal surfaces. It is designed to work in conjunction with Stormshield Flexible Gloss which we also stock. Don’t forget to take a look at the other options as well. We stock plenty of solutions to suit your needs. We also stock Floor Paint, Metal Paint, Specialist Paints, and Woodcare to give all your projects a lift!
