Gorgeous gardens

Ronseal is responding to the growing demand for garden products with expanded paint and decking ranges that combine colour and style with high performance.

The garden has been a DIY hotspot for some time. This year tough economic conditions have put many potential home moves on hold, with people choosing to stay put and renovate their existing property instead.

To keep up with the demand for garden products, DIY giant Ronseal has evolved and expanded its leading Garden Paint range. Available throughout Ireland, the range’s versatility is one of its key selling points, as Garden Paint can be used on wood, brick, terracotta and metal. These surfaces encompass most garden objects and structures, from plant pots to garden furniture to exterior walls.

With so many potential applications, the impact of Garden Paint can be transformative, giving homeowners licence to get creative in their gardens. It’s why Ronseal has grown the range to a huge 29 colours, recently adding Mountain Mist, Rainforest Green and Pewter Grey. With so many colour options at their disposal, people can turn their gardens into showpiece spaces, ideal for relaxing, entertaining or having fun with the family.

Indeed, the garden is now the ultimate multi-functional space, adaptable to the wants and needs of each household. Combined with quality outdoor lighting and comfortable outdoor furniture, some gardens have become an extension of the living room. Others have been turned into vibrant play areas for children to enjoy. With Garden Paint, interior design becomes exterior design where homeowners can tailor their colour schemes and design themes to their outdoor areas. And of course, like all Ronseal products, Garden Paint offers the long-lasting, high performance that customers expect as standard. Rainproof within one hour and with colour lasting up to ten years, Garden Paint offers fantastic protection against weathering and the elements.

Additional products like Garden Furniture Stripper are also available for people who need to clean and prepare their surfaces before applying Garden Paint. Ronseal provides a host of How To content on www.Ronseal.com to help DIY-ers get the most from the product and ensure they apply correctly.
