Today the family tradition continues. Fifth-generation Lucas Johnstone is Britannia’s Production Manager and he and other family members are proud to be helping the company on its next stage of development.

Britannia’s Aquashield brand is the original roof waterproofing coating and is as popular today as ever.

Particularly suitable for general maintenance and repair, Aquashield waterproofs exposed surfaces instantly. Even rainfall immediately after application has no adverse effect. Aquashield’s finish includes added fibres that interlace to cover small gaps and cracks, adding to the coating’s waterproofing capability. In addition to the original Aquashield Standard, Aquashield Eco is now available – a smooth, eco-friendly acrylic water-based coating. Both Aquashield Standard and Aquashield Eco are ready to use and are available in a range of colours.

Supporting Britannia’s products is a technical team who are always pleased to give expert help and advice and answer any queries.

All Britannia’s coatings and paints are subject to the most stringent quality control procedures. On-going investment in new product development plays a key part in the company’s success. Aquashield is just one of Britannia’s extensive range of products, which include coatings for roofs, walls, floors and sports surfaces. In addition to Britannia’s portfolio of best-selling brands, the company is also an own-brand supplier to many leading names
