From our humble beginnings in 1979 as an in-house manufacturer of high-quality coatings for Natal Associated Agencies (NAA), then the largest paint wholesaler in Pietermaritzburg serving the Natal Midlands, Dekade Paints has evolved into KwaZulu Natal’s premier paint specialist, with a comprehensive range of top quality products and a technical advisory backup service unmatched in the industry. With the business getting a further muscular boost in 2000 through the merger of NAA and Shaves, both trusted and much-loved brands in the local market, Dekade Paints brings together the combined decades-long expertise of the Shave and Du Plooy families, who between them hold a 60-year pedigree in serving the local paint market that goes back to the 1950s. Yet, beyond our market leading reputation and the lasting quality and guaranteed performance of our paint, it’s our personalised service that stands out and differentiates us from our competitors.
