Years of athletics events, daily student foot traffic and exposure to South Africa’s harsh UV rays and changing weather conditions made a school pavilion restoration at Laerskool Villieria essential. Through the Universal Paints Cares initiative, the team at Universal Paints Gezina proudly stepped in to restore the pavilion, donating both the paint and the labour needed to give this important community space a fresh new lease on life.
By combining quality products with hands-on expertise, the team transformed the tired and weathered pavilion into a clean, vibrant and protected facility that learners, teachers, parents and supporters can once again take pride in. The refreshed pavilion is now ready to continue hosting sporting events, school gatherings and celebrations for many years to come.
School Pavilion Restoration: A Hard-Wearing Solution for a High-Traffic Space
For the restoration, High Gloss Enamel was selected in the timeless shade Brunswick. Chosen for its exceptional durability and attractive finish, High Gloss Enamel is ideal for both interior and exterior applications where surfaces experience constant use.
Its hard-wearing, washable finish offers excellent resistance to everyday wear while providing long-lasting protection against UV exposure and the elements. With its rich gloss finish and outstanding durability, it was the perfect choice to restore a high-traffic school facility like the Laerskool Villieria pavilion.
Giving Back Through Universal Paints Cares
At Universal Paints, we believe in making a meaningful difference in the communities we serve. Through Universal Paints Cares, our branches actively support schools, charities and community organisations by donating products, expertise and, where possible, lending a helping hand to complete projects that have a lasting impact.
The Laerskool Villieria pavilion is a wonderful example of this commitment in action. Rather than simply supplying paint, the Universal Paints Gezina team rolled up their sleeves and completed the restoration themselves, ensuring the project was finished to a high standard and ready to be enjoyed by the school community.
Universal Paints Gezina is proud to continue investing in the local community through projects like this, helping create safer, brighter and more welcoming spaces for future generations. It’s all part of the Universal Paints Cares commitment to making a lasting difference—one community project at a time.
