Murisan Extra is new quality in- ternal emulsion designed to resist mould growth. It is easy to clean, has low odour and has a high spreading rate and opacity. It has been formulated to repel common household stains making it easy to wipe items such as coffee, mud, ketchup and red wine, together with many others. The premium quality matt paint has also been tested for anti- microbial activity making it ideal for frequently used rooms includ- ing kitchens, classrooms, hallways as well as damp spaces like bath- rooms and kitchens. Murisan Extra is available in brilliant white and can be tinted to thousands of colours. Murisan Chalkboard Paint is de- signed to turn any surface into a creative, vibrant chalkboard. The original addition is available in any deep colour and can be used in rooms such as kitchens and chil- dren's bedrooms. This product can be applied to many surfaces including wood, gypsum and limestone walls. Its water resist- ant base makes it easy to clean without staining. Murisan Chalkboard paint is easy to write on with chalk, making it perfect for fun activi- ties with children and boardroom brainstorming, and even for restaurants and bar menus. The final addition to Berger's lat- est range is PitStop, a long lasting, high quality floor paint, designed for light industrial and domestic use including garages, drive-ins and outdoor parking areas. The product can be applied to con- crete surfaces and is resistant to aggressive agents such as oils and other automotive chemicals. The decorative and maintainable floor finish is resistant to hot car tyres, does not mark and is easy to clean. Berger PitStop is available in Light Grey. The innovative products are now available from all leading paint and hardware stores.
