A Right Royal Review

In order to ensure that our products are of the best possible quality within a colour range that is up to date and progressive, we embarked on a full range review over the winter months.

We are happy to say that the colour review for the Royal Exterior & Interior range is now completed resulting in 12 new colours being added to the range. Research was undertaken to discover the latest and future colour trends, finding that many of this season’s hottest colours already existed on our Royal colour chart such as the striking Pillarbox Red, explosive Fuchsia Pink and dusky Midnight Blue.

Coming Soon – New Colours for Wood Protector, Shed & Fence and Decking Stain

New stockists join the Protek ranks

As our retail range grows in popularity more stores are stocking Protek products. Two new companies joined us last month and we would like to wish them the best of success.

1st Choice Leisure Buildings are based in Addlestone, Surrey and sell a wide variety of high quality sheds, greenhouses and timber buildings. They are stocking Stable Coat plus Wood Preserver and are re-sellers for the entire colour range for Royal Exterior and Wood Protector.

Retail Range colour review 2012

Protek has embarked on a comprehensive review that looks at the entire retail range to ensure that colours and formulations are up to date and of the best possible on the market.

As part of this review colour ranges are looked at with research in to what colours are set to appeal in future design for the exterior and interior, leading to new colours being created and brought on to the ranges.

May - This Month’s Colours

No more excuses for not getting outside and doing all of those jobs that have been put off by cold weather and a lack of time. The May Bank Holidays are a traditional time for Britain to go DIY crazy so why not get out there and treat your windowsills to a lick of fresh Royal Exterior and then pop back inside for a cup of tea and get on with decorating the interior windowsills with Royal Interior so they look great inside and out.

Shed & Fence is just waiting to be sprayed on your fences for a bit of traditional colour and protection, or if you’re wanting to make a colourful statement in the garden, grab one of the beautiful colours from the Wood Protector range and transform your shed from an eyesore into a glorious centrepiece!

This month’s colours are in honour of my favourite Tweeter ‘Fifty Sheds of Grey’ and come from our Royal Exterior and Interior range.

Ideal Young Gardeners of the Year 2013

On Friday 15th March 2013 the Ideal Home Show opened its doors to the public and the rush was on to see this highly popular annual exhibition.

We had a vested interest in attending as the first day saw the Ideal Young Gardeners of the Year 2013 gardens being judged and that afternoon Alan Titchmarsh and David Domoney presented awards to the participating colleges and awarded Best At Show on stage at the main theatre of the Ideal Home Show.

Protek were very proud to be invited to take part in supporting the competition and supplied wood stain to Askham Bryan College and Capel Manor College to be used in their show garden designs. Read more>
