Perhaps the single most effective thing retailers can do in 2024 and beyond is to acknowledge that aspirations and consultative conversations have overtaken reality. If a retailer wishes to take advantage of the latest and greatest trends for this year and next, it would do well to keep its feet firmly planted on the ground while working with a good partner to achieve its technology aspirations, says redPanda Software business development executive Peter Ludi.

Single rollers (excluding tray sets and bundles) decline YoY by -2% while trays sets increase by +4.4% to R90 on average. Brushes are more consistent at -1% for the total and -1.5% for singles.

The dominating 225mm segment for rollers (excluding bundles and tray sets) is highly competitive with only minor price disparities among the major players.

Roller Refills (excluding bundles) generate 10% of the volume of brushware and generate 7% of the value. They provide a large array of price points clearly linked to the type of refill. The smaller sizes tend to generate a larger share of the volume and are often sold in twin packs adding another layer of volatility in the price points.

Roller trays sets are a dominating segment within brush ware providing 13% of the volume and 18% of the value. In some months tray sets outsell single rollers in volume terms. High number of active brands with a deep product range from promotion focused offers to high-end items. Price points differ although for 225mm the core of the market is between R80 and R100.

Brushes generated 51% of the sales volume and 49% of the value for brushware in February, stable around half of the total in general terms. Unlike rollers within brushes price differentiation is key in line with their intended use and of course size.

Promac Paints (R15 000) Tyan Construction (R20 000) and Power Build themselves (R17 000) all stepped up to the challenge resulting in an additional R60 000 being raised bringing the

the popular choice for cutting tiles, concrete or stone

Evolution Diamond Blades

With their longevity and excellent cutting abilities, diamond blades have become the choice of tool for projects requiring cutting of tiles- whether it be roof, floor, or wall tiles. In days gone by, this used to prove quite a challenge and in many cases, a costly and time-consuming exercise due to tiles chipping and cracking from using conventional cutting methods.

Available in both segmented and continuous rims, they fit onto standard portable right-angle grinders, featuring diameters of 115mm and 230mm. The continuous rim is specifically designed to reduce chipping on application. Producing a smoother cut, it is the ideal product for cutting glazed, porcelain and marble tiles.

For cement roof tiles, terracotta floor tiles and other masonry substrates, we recommend the segmented rim, although producing a faster and cooler cut, some chipping might result on application. Suitable for wet or dry cutting, we recommend the use of a coolant, such as water, especially when cutting with the continuous rim to extend blade life. Manufactured and tested to international standards, Superflex Evolution Diamond Blades are not only safe and efficient in use, but also economical. Available at Major retailers
