Warehouse Enviro Paints and Warehouse Luxaire Heat Pumps????
 
Hello
Has anyone got any views or experience on 2 of the following products from The Warehouse.

Enviro Internal paints, Undercoat, Wall, Ceiling and Gloss Paints?
Also Luxaire (York) Heat Pump Air conditioners and the people who install them for Warehouse?

Basically does anyone know if they are any good?
Thanks

Paint, you get what you pay for. IMHO Resene is best and I would never use anything else. Depends on the job you are doing though...

Hello, haven't used that paint but have used the fence paint from the Warehouse but really wouldn't recommend anything but Resene paints here or Wattyl. Having done our house up inside completely i.e. new everything like walls! it's Resene first though. They are lovely paints. Even Dulux isn't as good here for some reason. Hope it helps. Definitely Resene.
Dunno about heat pumps, sorry.

Haven't got any experience of The Warehouse products but... the NZ light/UV etc necessitates quality paint products, otherwise it's a false economy - also, if you're not painting yourself, make sure your painter does so in the right conditions - full bright sun is great for the painter but can mean your painted surfaces "bubble" within a short time.

Don't know about the Luxaire product - question why it's in The Warehouse - they specialise in parallel imports/ends of lines - and, especially with a long term product, how you maintain/service/get spare parts - as with paint, be way of false economy.

I read something the other day that might be of help to someone. If you go into, say, a Resene shop ask to see their 'Mis-tints'. They're usually kept 'out back'. These are cans of paint that have been mixed to the wrong shade for a customer and are a fraction of the price and the colours are on the top of the tin. The piece said to take a shade card with you to get closest to the colour you want. If you're not terribly particular about the shade you want, I reckon it'd be a goer :D
