What paint color should I get for my home? That is a question we often receive at Boysen. Sometimes we would be asked something particular, like what white color can we recommend.

Also, there will always be a disclaimer in the color palettes, color swatches, and…

Good day po. Hingi lang sana ako ng tulong regarding sa positive-side waterproofing ng concrete wall na nasa underground. Pinahukay ko yung gilid ng underground wall para malagyan ng waterproofing. After ko mag-apply ng Boysen Plexibond, lalagyan ko sana ng topcat. Tapos, tatabunan na siya ng lupa. Bale, magiging exposed yung wall sa lupa. Puwede po ba yun?
