PRODUCT NEWS FrogTape – helping to decorate the


changing face of the workplace The world of work has changed hugely over the last couple of years. As more and more people are working from home full or part time, leading DIY product FrogTape is helping to make workplaces functional and welcoming, whether within a home or at a central office.


For those working from home, feature walls help create zones within a large room, sectioning


off the office from the kitchen or lounge. In a central office, feature walls can provide a more comfortable relaxing environment and brighten up open plan areas to encourage socialising and collaboration.


The beauty of paint is that it is easy to work with, and the finish suits modern and period properties, residential and commercial. The simplicity of feature walls means that they are not difficult to achieve, and the tools are minimal. Paint works well on high traffic areas. Flat matt and endurance paints are tough and hide wear and tear on high traffic areas like staircases, while reflective paints can really brighten rooms, so are perfect for smaller areas or those with less natural light. Businesses can use feature walls to promote their own


WE’RE ALL


Warmer weather is finally on the horizon, bringing with it the promise of alfresco dining and time well-spent with friends and family around the BBQ. But does it matter if you’re barbecuing across hot charcoals or if you’ve fired up with gas? There’s plenty to love about traditional charcoal, the original barbecuing experience that gives that deliciously deep, smoky flavour. However, there are huge advantages to gas too – it’s easy, convenient, and perfect for more controlled cooking. Well, it turns out that you don’t have to choose, as LANDMANN has launched the Triton MaxX 4.1 burner 2-in-1 BBQ - a barbecue that allows you to cook with gas and charcoal at the same time. Different from many other hybrids that just let you switch between the

brand, through colour matching with their existing logo, or creating a mural or artwork that conveys their business ethos. FrogTape’s own office shows just how it’s done: Art + Believe used the leading masking tape to create a bold, bright wall to welcome people back to the office post-Covid. Dan and Charlotte Doherty of Art + Believe are world-famous for their colourful geometric designs which have been used on building exteriors, palace floors, city architecture and even beer bottles. Their handpainted works rely on straight lines so Shurtape, owner of FrogTape has sponsored the duo for a number of years, as the unique Paintblock Technology in the masking tape means it provides the neatest straight lines possible, with no paint bleed. The communal office is not just


for work, it’s a place to meet and share ideas. A team needs to feel comfortable, relaxed and inspired - and the décor plays a huge part. Home offices meanwhile, need to be designated and bright - stylish without infringing upon the rest of the home. Bright, welcoming walls will help workplaces thrive.
