Exposed aggregate and concrete are tough surfaces, but over time they can start to look dull and tired. Dirt builds up, colours fade, and the surface becomes harder to keep clean. The good news? Refreshing it doesn’t have to be a big job.

If you want your fence paint or stain to last, it takes more than a brush and a tin of colour. Good prep is what helps the product soak in, grip properly, and stand up to New Zealand’s tough weather.

Slippery paths, steps and patios can be a real problem, especially when they get wet. That’s where NOVEX Non Slip Additive comes in. It’s an easy way to add extra grip to painted outdoor surfaces without changing the look of your paint too much.

Kiwi fences take a hammering from the sun, wind and rain, so giving them a fresh coat of protection can make a huge difference. A tidy, well-coated fence lifts the whole property and helps your timber last longer. With the right prep — and the right NOVEX product — it’s a job any DIYer can take on.
