This page a lists of products that are no longer “current”, which simply means that they no longer feature in our latest Swatch Book. Materials discontinued since July 2002 are listed.

Our policy

We endeavour to maintain discontinued products in stock for at least another two years. The list states when products were deleted from the current range and whether they are still available from stock now.

Our policy regarding discontinued product options, sample upgrades and swatch book updates

Even the best product lines don’t last forever. As soon as we decide - or are forced - to discontinue a product, we remove it from new Swatch Book releases and cease offering it as an option in Studio Display Samples.

We do our best to advise you as soon as possible, especially if you’ve purchased it in the past.

Wherever possible we continue to supply the product for your customer orders for at least two more years, in other words, for the lifetime of the oldest swatch books that reference it. Sometimes this is not possible, perhaps because our own suppliers have suddenly withdrawn the product or because we have been experiencing service problems with it.

Upgrading samples

If we cannot supply product to match a Sample that is less than two years old (and on which we allowed you discount), we will replace it. Most often, clients will want to replace the cover of the existing Sample so that they can retain the existing photographs, but we will replace the entire album to the same value if you prefer. If you want the cover only replaced, we will collect the existing album from you at our own expense.

Please contact us if you have any questions.

Swatch Book updates and replacements

We publish a new Swatch Book every year, normally in the third quarter.

We aim to supply a replacement Swatch Book to regular clients every year - free or discounted, depending on the amount of business you do with us. If you’re not sure whether you qualify, please contact Client Support.
