More than 500 finishes in UK stock means faster access, shorter lead times and over 100 new designs that follow the latest interior trends
William Smith’s architectural brand, Architextural, has expanded its Cover Styl stockholding to more than 500 designs, strengthening its position as the UK’s leading stockist of architectural finishes. For installers, that means greater product availability, faster access to materials, shorter lead times and a wider choice of finishes for customer projects. The expanded stock includes more than 100 new finishes, from pastel colours and terracotta tones to raffia textures, mirror finishes and more realistic woodgrains.
Cover Styl adhesive architectural films refresh existing walls, doors and furniture, with an established collection of wood, stone, concrete, metallic, textile, solid colour and glitter finishes.
Stock on the shelf when the job lands
For an installer, a finish that is weeks away might as well not exist, and a project that stalls waiting for materials costs time, moneyand goodwill. With stock held in the UK, Architextural offers next-day dispatch, so installers can quote with confidence and book jobs in without padding the programme.
“Installers live and die by availability. When a client signs off a finish, they want a start date, not a shipping estimate. With more than 500 Cover Styl designs on our shelves, our customers can quote, order and start work quickly,” says Jack Carr, Architextural Brand Manager.
The latest interior trends, ready to fit
The new additions bring the colours and textures shaping today’s interiors to installers, all backed by UK stock.
- Pastel colours in soft, calming shades for hospitality, retail and residential spaces.
- Terracotta inspired finishes with warm, earthy tones for natural, Mediterranean style interiors.
- Raffia and woven effect textures that bring the look of natural weaves to doors, wardrobes and wall panels.
- Mirror finishes that bounce light around smaller rooms and add glamour to bars, reception desks and displays.
- An expanded range of more realistic woodgrains, with depth of colour and texture that invites a second look.
“Clients see these looks in hotels, restaurants and all over social media, and they want them in their own spaces. Because we hold them in the UK, installers can say yes and get on with the job,” he explains.
A pattern book for the client meeting
The new Cover Styl pattern book lets installers, specifiers and end users browse the array of patterns, colours and textures in one place. Installers can put it on the table at a site visit and let clients see and feel the finishes side by side, while designers and specifiers can check exactly how a finish looks before it goes into a specification.
“A screen can only tell you so much about a raffia texture or a mirror finish. The pattern book puts the real thing in people’s hands, which makes it much easier for installers and their clients to pick the right finish first time,” adds Jack.
Refurbish rather than replace
Because Cover Styl keeps existing fixtures in place, refurbishment businesses get shorter programmes, less disruption to clients who need to stay open and less material heading to skip. Clients get a fresh look without the cost of replacing doors, panels and furniture. Architextural backs its stockholding with practical advice, samples and application training, from the first swatch to the final squeegee.
Jack concludes, “Bigger stock, faster access and the latest finishes all serve one purpose, which is helping installers win more work. If they can sell it, we want them to know we have it on the shelf in the UK and a team ready to help them fit it.”
