Homeowners whose kitchen or bathroom renovations have stalled due to the current financial crisis do have a much cheaper option that will still produce a professional, contemporary transformation.
The Homecare range of Tile and Laminate Paints, Appliance Finish and Bench Top Clear will transform a tired, dated kitchen or bathroom in just a weekend for well under $400 for most projects.
Both the Tile and Laminate Paints are available in thousands of colours and can be applied directly over existing tiles and laminate/melamine.
Comprising a simple three-stage process, the Tile Paint will dry to a mould-resistant, exceptionally resilient high gloss, even in shower stalls while the Laminate Paint dries to an extremely durable, knock-resistant satin sheen, devoid of any brush marks.
To complete the finish of the tiles, go over the grout lines with the White Knight Paints Grout Pen in crisp white.
The kitchen bench top can then be painted in any colour acrylic paint before being finished with a coat of Bench Top Clear. This is a high performance water-based polyurethane that dries to a transparent, satin sheen that can be used over paint, timber and laminate. It will withstand heat and cleaning chemicals while resisting scuffing, scratching and general wear and tear.
For the floor, apply a coat of White Knight Paints Ultra Pave — a water-based, rapid dry formula for heavy traffic areas that dries to a satin finish and can be tinted to hundreds of colours.
White Knight Paints and Taubmans paints and finishes are available nationally from hardware shops and paint outlets.
