Capastone Range Gives Abu Dhabi Mall Genuine Stone Finish
Caparol LLC, the developers and producers of high quality exterior and interior paints, enamels, glazes and structural coatings and a partner of Emaar Industries & Investments, has completed the stone finish paint project on Abu Dhabi’s Khalidiya Mall.
Caparol utilized its CapaStone range for the project, which gives the mall a natural, characteristic finish. The range consists of five main products, which provide a range of colours and finishes tailored to the needs of the numerous projects undertaken by Caparol across the region.
“We first introduced the CapaStone range to the UAE market 10 years ago and it has become the finish of choice for architects, designers and applicators here due to its durability and value addition to projects. The range is a testament to the research and development conducted by our German HQ as it provides a genuine and competitive alternative to solid stone panels that have been traditionally utilized in the region,” says Gary Seabrook, General Manager of Caparol LLC.
“We’ve seen the implementation of the CapaStone range in a number of prestigious projects in the UAE and Khalidiya Mall in Abu Dhabi is the latest and largest shopping mall completed in this range. The architects required a rugged effect with a natural stone finish,” explains Seabrook.
The CapaStone paint range has grown in popularity in the UAE due to its multipurpose and durable usage. The range includes five main products – Ceratone, EuroStone, CeraTile, DecoCoat and Granito – all providing different types of textures and finishes to large scale projects. The Granito paint product was used for Khalidiya Mall due to its rugged feature and was applied in a three tone effect achieving a more realistic granite finish.
Caparol is the market leader for building paints in Germany, Austria and Turkey and with approximately €1 billion turnover is the largest private paint manufacturer in Europe in the decorative paint market. However, Caparol’s operations span from Europe to the Middle East (Headquartered in Dubai) and all the way to markets in the Far East.
“The CapaStone range has proved so successful here because of its durability in a region with extreme environmental conditions and its aesthetic prowess and we are building our markets around an ability to provide for the needs of the GCC,” adds Gary Seabrook.
