Painting and Decorating, 6th Edition

Painting & Decorating consists of a series of concise, well illustrated and easily understood technical information sheets which provide the student or practicing painter and decorator with essential job knowledge. Both decorative and industrial materials and equipment are thoroughly covered, and health and safety information is emphasised throughout the text.

Printed for the first time in full colour, the sixth edition has been revised to include new developments in tools, equipment and materials, particularly with regard to spray painting technology and low VOC paints. The chapters on scaffolding and health and safety have also been updated to ensure they reflect current regulations and best practice.

The content covers the knowledge requirement for both National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) and Scottish National Vocational Qualifications (SNVQs) in painting and decorating. The book’s extensive but concise information will also make it an excellent reference for practising painters and decorators.
