Save time on cleaning bathrooms

Dry-treat have introduced a water repellent which is suitable for use on bathroom grout and makes it easier to keep clean as it repels the water and so the grime that is in the water, making cleaning the bathrooms so much easier. The product is so adaptable that it can be used on a number of stone surfaces from outside patios to granite worktops enabling the cleaning of all these products to be so much easier.

In the 25 years I have been in business I have never been so impressed as I am with this product and we are using is as a standard feature on all our new projects. If applied by accredited applicators you will receive a 15 year warranty against staining, that is an unbelievable deal and one I will provide all my customers.Look at their website to see for yourself what this multinational company has achieved.World leaders in impregnating sealers

Technology and the Home Improvement business

Has the Internet killed the retail outlets? Are any of us able to compete with firms selling boxes on the Internet at stupid profit margins? At a time when money is very important and people want to achieve the best value of money for the goods they purchase, the Internet and all its selling sites; Internet traders and sites like Ebay have their place and we will never be able to compete on a like for like basis. But do we want to compete? I do not want to work for silly margins and rely on quantity sales to reach my break even figures. I, like many retailers, provide a service, I provide a place where people can touch the goods, where they get free face to face advice and where they only part with money when the goods are known to be in stock.
So back to my original question can we compete with the Internet, on price the answer is always no, but on service always, hands down. Support your local retailers buy locally and buy a local service.
