Clean and prime the surface first — primer improves adhesion and reduces the topcoats needed.
Emulsion paints typically cover 100–120 sq ft per liter per coat on smooth plastered walls; rough surfaces need more.
Apply at least 2 coats for even, lasting color, especially over darker existing colors.
Use weatherproof paint on exterior walls to resist monsoon rain and UV fading.
Let each coat dry fully (check the can's recoat time) before applying the next.

⚡ Electrical Guides

Match wire gauge to load — undersized wiring overheats and is a fire risk. Ask our staff for the right cable size.
Use an RCCB (residual current breaker) on bathroom, kitchen and outdoor circuits for shock protection.
Size MCBs just above your circuit's expected load, not the wire's maximum rating.
Label your distribution board circuits for easy troubleshooting later.
Always switch off the main breaker before working on household wiring.

🚰 Plumbing Guides

PVC pressure pipes are rated by class — use a higher class for main supply lines under constant pressure, lower class is fine for drainage.
Use Teflon tape or thread seal on all threaded joints to prevent leaks.
Slope drainage pipes at least 1–2% so wastewater flows freely without pooling.
Install a gate valve near the water meter and at each major fixture, so repairs don't require cutting the whole supply.
Insulate exposed outdoor pipes to avoid pressure or temperature damage.

🔧 Tool Guides

Match drill/driver voltage and chuck size to the job — bigger masonry or steel jobs need higher-torque tools like RONIX impact drills.
Always wear eye protection when using grinders, cutters or drills.
Match cutting discs and drill bits to the material (masonry, wood, metal) — the wrong bit shortens tool life and gives poor results.
Fully charge cordless tool batteries before big jobs and store them at room temperature to extend battery life.
Clean and oil moving parts (chucks, gears) periodically to keep tools running smoothly.
