Got an old wooden cabinet or other piece of wooden furniture that could do with a bit of an upgrade? This video will take you through the step-by-step process to get the look you want.

There is a recent trend where painters use a "duo" brush (paint brush with two heads) and two shades of paint in the same hue in order to create a "colour wash" effect. In this video we show you how to achieve this look - from making your own "duo" brush (using two Hamilton's Pro-Chalk Blending brushes) and how to apply the paint to get the effect.

Metal window frames don't require as much regular maintenance as wooden window frames, however there are tiles that you will need to repair cracked and brittle window putty or maintain the paint work to prevent rust. With the right tools and a bit of time, you can keep your metal window frames looking great for years.

Outdoor furniture can take a beating from the elements - sunlight, heat, cold and rain. Wooden furniture is especially susceptible to the elements if not cared for or maintained properly on a regular basis.

Metal garage doors and other metal roller doors are excellent for security purposes and can be easily repainted if they start looking shabby or dull.

Palisade fencing is a commonly used as a fencing solution for homes and businesses. It is cost effective and long-lasting, however, regular maintenance is needed to ensure that the fence continues to look good and remain secure. With the correct tools and coatings, maintaining your palisade fence can be done easily and effectively in a reasonable amount of time.

Wooden structures need regular maintenance and weatherproofing to ensure that the wood stays in good condition. The elements can have destructive tendencies when it comes to wood and, like our human skin, need moisturising and nourishment to stay healthy.

The rainy season is on it's way - this is the best time to repair areas affected by penetrating or rising damp. If damp continues to be a problem, it is obviously important to find the root of the problem and fix it, however, in this video we look at how to repair a section of an exterior wall that has been affected by damp.

Water-based polyurethane coatings are a great option for painting floors. They provide scratch, chemical and impact resistance and can also be easily "touched-up" if necessary.

Applying a 2-part epoxy floor coating does not have to be difficult, follow the process and use the right tools and you are well on your way to The Perfect Finish. #epoxy #epoxyfloors #epoxyfloorcoatings #epoxyflooring #diyflooring

The Hamilton's Classic Roller is a long-pile roller, perfect for use on medium to rough surfaces or with textured paint. The long-pile ensures complete coverage because it gets into all the nooks and crannies on a rough surface. We also show the effect of using a long-pile roller on a smooth wall - the dreaded "orange peel" effect.

We have been paying attention to the needs and requests of our customers and have made some improvements to our range of wire brushes. We have improved the quality of the wood used in the handles and made them more comfortable to hold. The quality and quantity of the wire has also been improved.

How can you test paint to see if it will adhere to a specific surface? A simple adhesion test, that does not require special equipment, is easy enough to do and will save you time and money in the long-run.
