As homeowners are moving away from neutral garden colours in favour of bolder shades and with summer providing an ideal time to take on garden DIY projects, now could be the perfect time for your customer to consider a garden refresh, allowing them to make the most of their outdoor space.
Amid the growing popularity of garden makeovers, DIY giant Ronseal continues to provide homeowners with high-quality, easy-to-apply options across its garden and decking ranges. Designed to make outdoor projects easier, the range includes fast-drying, multi-surface paints and stains that help effortlessly refresh gardens for the summer months.
How Ronseal Garden Paint can transform the garden
Available throughout the country, Ronseal Garden Paint is a staple for home DIYers thanks to its versatility and durability. It can be used to add colour to almost anything in your customer’s garden, including wood, brick, terracotta and metal, making it easy to refresh everything from back walls to old plant pots.
Alongside its versatility, the water-based paint takes just an hour to become rainproof, meaning there’s no need to worry about unpredictable weather conditions. It works fast and is tough too, thanks to its strong protection against weathering, with colour lasting up to ten years.
Ronseal Garden Paint is available in a range of 29 shades, including Rainforest Green, Cornflower Blue, Pink Jasmine and Moroccan Red, meaning decorators can explore a whole world of colour when it comes to painting their gardens.
Here are some ways your customer can use Ronseal Garden Paint to inject colour into their outdoor space:
Country garden: Greens, blues and creams will help give your customers garden a country-inspired look. Great combinations include Elderflower on wood, Cool Breeze on metal, and Sapling Green on wood.
Urban living: For a modern garden, use darker greys with a mix of bright colours, such as Daisy on brick, Blackbird on wood, Sun Dial on terracotta, or Lime Zest on wood.
Classic style: Use deep, rich colours for a timeless look, such as Bramble on stone, Beetroot on wood, or Midnight Blue on brick.
Colour splash: Add a bit of fun with a splash of colour. This is a great way to use leftover paint. Why not try Purple Berry on terracotta, or Pink Jasmine, Summer Sky and Lime Zest on wood, paired with Slate on wood.
Kids’ corner: Give children a fun place to play with vibrant, bright colours such as Pink Jasmine, Cornflower, Bluebell and White Ash on wood.
Ronseal’s decking range:
Alongside its Garden Paint, Ronseal offers everything you need to strip, clean, nourish
and protect your customers decking with its market-leading decking care range.
If your customer`s decking needs a refresh, Ronseal offers products that can take it from a tired, weathered deck to a bright, colourful, brand-new-looking outdoor space.
The Decking Cleaner and Reviver is ideal for cleaning old decking and preparing new wood. It’s perfect to use before treating the deck, as it opens the pores of the wood to help new treatments soak in and stick, keeping the deck looking great for longer. It’s also ideal as a general cleaner, helping to brighten and enhance decking all season long.
Your customer can pair this with Ronseal’s Decking Stripper, which completely removes oils, stains and paints from wooden decking, leaving it looking brand new. Best of all, it only needs one coat. With your decking stripped and cleaned, it’s time to give it a new lease of life using Ronseal’s decking oils, stains and paints.
Should you choose decking oil, stain or paint?
Deciding whether to use decking oil, paint or stain depends on the look and level of protection you are aiming for. Ronseal’s Ultimate Protection Decking Oil soaks into the wood to help protect it from moisture, cracking and UV damage while keeping a natural finish. It enhances the grain of the timber and lasts twice as long as standard decking oil, making it a popular choice for newer decking.
Meanwhile, Ronseal’s Ultimate Decking Stain adds colour while still allowing the wood grain to show through. It offers longer-lasting protection than oil and is a good option for refreshing older decking without completely changing its appearance.
For those looking to make their decking stand out, Ronseal’s Ultimate Decking Paint creates a solid colour coating over the wood, making it ideal for covering worn or weathered decking boards.
