		<description><![CDATA[Plascon has announced its 2nd annual Colour Combination of the Year, comprising a trio of related colours designed to reflect the mood of 2023. Intended to bring joy back home with a harmony of hues, the Plascon Colour Combination 2023 is all about capturing simple joie de vivre. With a meticulously selected, sun-drenched palette that casts a radiant glow, Plascon is taking us to a place that, although familiar, feels energising. Plascon has drawn on extensive research into directional developments in regional interiors, architecture, product design and fashion to present these three colours instead of a single ‘Colour of the Year’ as it did previously. In 2022, Plascon became the first coatings company in the local industry to present a Colour Combination of the Year and has continued this new approach for 2023. Its rationale for choosing three colours instead of merely one is based on the industry practice of a 60-30-10 design scheme. This scheme suggests that 60% of a space should consist of a dominant colour, 30% a secondary colour, and 10% an accent colour. In structuring the colour combination in these ratios, Plascon makes it easier for architects, interior design and decor professionals, and members of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If your kids have flown the nest or you’re looking for a safer place to live, you’re probably considering downsizing. With all the appeals of downsizing — like saving money, reducing clutter and less maintenance —you may still be worried about your living spaces looking and feeling small. Luckily, there are tricks of the design trade that can make smaller rooms bigger. Colour is a key part of making your room look bigger than it actually is. Along with special furniture arranging, creative lighting and the use of mirrors, the smart usage of colour can do wonders. So, how do you make a room look bigger with colour? The most straightforward way to expand the visual space of your room is to paint it in a lighter colour. While dark shades tend to absorb light and make the room feel closed in, a light wall enhances natural light and makes spaces feel more open. Soft tones like off-whites, beiges, light blues and light greens fit the description and are softer and more welcoming than harsher pure whites and bright colours. For a neutral yet welcoming look, try shades like Antique Petal, Moon Beam, Evening Mist and Frothy Milk, or brighten [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The newly formulated Plascon Allseal is an easy to use and economical acrylic sealer designed for use with an external membrane to seal and bridge cracks and prevent leaks on roofs, cement plaster, concrete bagged walls and other exterior masonry surfaces. This waterproofing system includes a free polyester membrane which is used to bridge and stop leaks on parapets, flashings, roofs joints and laps, wall and chimney cappings, as well as, seal nail heads, putting the ALL in AllSeal. Plascon AllSeal is specially formulated with a 5-year quality guarantee, and after extensive testing shows excellent water resistance, weather and UV resistance and high flexibility so that it allows for expansion and contraction in the harsh South African climates without cracking or flaking. This means that your exterior surfaces will be protected for longer, saving you time and money. The secret is in the thixotropic gel structure which means that the waterproofing coating applies easily and allows for a thicker film build, making it impervious to the elements. Plascon AllSeal also has a water-based formulation making it the responsible choice for the environment. &#160; Plascon AllSeal will soon be available in a low sheen finish of eight of the most popular [...]]]></description>
