New products and ideas for the home.

Smart touch power technology.

Tap into technology

Have you ever fumbled in the dark trying to find the light switch, or found yourself wishing that it wasn’t so hard to reach?

Resene SmartTouch is here to make turning lights on and off so much easier. Rather than stumbling around in the dark trying to find the light switch or twisting yourself like a contortionist trying to reach an awkward switch, your wall can become the switch with Resene SmartTouch. Simply tap the wall finished in Resene SmartTouch to switch the lights on and off. Easy! We used Resene SmartTouch to turn a painted headboard feature into a switch so that, no matter what side of the bed you’re sleeping on, the light is always within reach.

Resene AquaLAQ

Colour like no other

There’s nothing worse than finding your kitchen cabinetry, furniture or joinery don't look like the Resene colour you requested because the maker hasn’t used the authentic Resene colour you asked for in a Resene product. To make it easier to get just the right colour, new Resene AquaLAQ is especially designed for kitchen cabinetry, furniture and joinery. It includes a complete waterborne system of sealer, colour coat and Environmental Choice approved clear coat. With a full range of authentic Resene colours available, there’s no need to settle for anything less. Find out more at www.resene.com/aqualaq.

Take control of what comes in

New Securo® Pull Down blinds from Window Treatments NZ are designed for small to medium sized interior and exterior windows and doors, providing solutions for insect control, complete block-out, glare control and protection from wind and rain. Securo®Pull Down is easily operated manually by raising and lowering the blind using the handle or pull cord located on the bottom rail. Fabric tension is created with a spring inserted in the top tube and the blind can be locked into the down position by simply tilting the bottom rail.

Metallic colours

Turn up the glam

When it comes to creative projects, Resene FX Metallic finishes are an easy way to create a striking effect without breaking your budget. A few metallic touches can quickly take a space from bland to wow. And while you might think metallics are all about gold and silver, even metallic colours change with the trends. With the rise of millennial pink and the evolution of it through to coral shades, one of the hottest new metallic hues is Resene Rose Gold. This new colour is part of the latest Resene Metallics & Special Effects colour range. Get your free chart from your Resene ColorShop or reseller or order online at www.resene.com/ordercharts.
