We are here to answer your questions – here are the most frequently asked about our products.

What is meant by a ‘standard’ RAL?

We offer different paint options. A ‘standard’ RAL refers to a RAL colour, such as those that can be found at http://www.ralcolor.com/. A ‘non-standard’ RAL is a paint finish such as those chosen from the Sensations range, which are more expensive.
