5 Situations Where It Pays to Use Premium Products

When is the right time and place to suggest a coatings upgrade? Here are some suggestions.

1. Showcase room

Final appearance is important in customer’s living room, dining room, foyer or other showcase space.

Upgrade opportunity: Cashmere® Interior Acrylic Latex. No other paint will offer such a luxurious and buttery smooth finish.

2. Indoor air quality

VOCs and indoor air quality are often concerns
in projects like a nursery, children’s room, hospital, assisted living facility, hotel or apartment complex. Customers may also be concerned about managing odors from pets, patients, or tenants or guests who smoke.

Upgrade opportunity: Harmony® Interior Latex Acrylic Paint

3. Stain resistance

Durability and washability are important in busy spaces like kitchens and family rooms. Stain resistance is also important in bathrooms, basements, or any room where there’s a threat of mold or mildew.

Upgrade opportunity: Emerald Interior® or Duration Home® Interior Acrylic Paint

4. Dramatic color change

Your customer wants the job done quickly. You’re looking to keep down labor costs by saving
a coat – either primer or second topcoat.

5. Long-term owner

Your customer plans to stay in their home or
hold a property
for a long time, and needs their exterior paint job to last.
