For over 68 years Franklins has been a trusted name for premium bathroomware in New Zealand. As a family-run business, they’ve served architects, homeowners, developers, builders and plumbers, importing exclusive, high quality bathroom products from Europe. 

Franklins understands the legacy of quality. They prioritise the use of high-quality base materials, ensuring their products are not only durable but also safe for everyday use. This commitment to quality is a testament to their belief that a bathroom should be built to last, offering peace of mind to customers for years to come.

From the time-consuming hand-crafted finishes passed down through generations of family artisans, to the sustainable practices that underpin many of their European manufacturers. Franklin's takes pride in the age-old craftsmanship traditions and eco-conscious sourcing of their products.

Franklins have a stunning showroom in Wellington and will be exhibiting at the Home & Interiors Show, 22-24 March 2024, TSB Arena Wellington. Visit their stand to speak to the team and find out more about their premium bathroomware for your bathroom renovation or build project.

Interior & Exterior painting and expert finishes 

High quality finishes are the result of proper preparation, attention to detail and an expert team of painting professionals. Painting is not just about colour. It's about creating decorative finishes that reflect the style and ambience of your home. Colour Homes use a range of quality paints and applications to achieve something that is unique and in keeping with your vision and create a wow factor for all interior and exterior painting.
