Small details make a big difference. ✨🏡

Skirting boards, door frames and trims often take knocks from shoes, furniture, pets and daily movement. A fresh coat of paint can make the whole room look cleaner, brighter and more polished. 🖌️🚪

This is a great winter paint job because it is manageable, practical and makes an instant impact. ❄️✅

Pro tip: Lightly sand, clean and prepare the surface before painting for a smoother, longer-lasting finish. 🧽🎨

When last did your skirtings get a refresh? 💬

Ask our team which finish will give your trims a cleaner, longer-lasting look. 🛒

Menlyn mornings are getting cooler — now’s the perfect time to protect your timber 🍂🪵
From wooden doors, pergolas, benches, gates and outdoor features, the right treatment keeps timber looking great and helps guard against weathering 🌦️✨

If your wood is looking dry, faded or tired, don’t wait for deep winter to arrive. We’ll help you choose the right system depending on whether it’s raw timber or previously coated ✅

Tell us if your timber is raw or previously coated (or bring a photo) and we’ll recommend the right product system.

Why are wind, dust, and contamination a risk during painting?

Wind, dust, and contamination can seriously compromise the quality of a paint finish 🌬️🎨

Wind speeds up drying time, making it difficult for paint to level properly, which can lead to lap marks and uneven finishes. Dust and airborne particles can settle into wet paint, creating rough textures, visible imperfections, and rework.

Contamination from dirt, oils, or moisture also affects adhesion, increasing the risk of peeling and premature paint failure — especially on exterior or exposed surfaces.

Managing these conditions with proper timing, surface preparation, and the right paint system is essential for achieving a durable, professional result.

Speak to Universal Paints for expert advice on managing environmental risks and choosing paint systems that perform — even in challenging conditions.

How can better coverage save time and labour?

Better coverage means fewer coats are needed to achieve a solid, even finish 🎨⏱️

When paint covers properly the first time, applicators spend less time reapplying coats, correcting patchy areas, or fixing mistakes. This reduces application time, lowers labour costs, and helps projects stay on schedule.

High-quality paints with superior coverage also minimise waste and effort, making both DIY and professional jobs more efficient from start to finish.

Choose Universal Paints for high-coverage, professional-grade paints that help you save time, reduce labour, and get the job done right the first time.
