 The Coatings Alliance introduces C2
Accent Color System Primers, its new primer line designed
to work with the boldest colors of the C2 palette. Available
in interior and exterior latex, and exterior oil, C2
Accent Color System Primers deliver outstanding coverage
in a maximum of two topcoats.
“Vivid, dramatic colors are more popular than ever. Our
new primers resolve translucency issues common to dark colors to
ensure the uniform opacity needed for a polished finish. Now, you
don’t need to paint four, five, six coats to get even coverage
on a deep red or orange wall. You just need to lay the right foundation,” said
Jeff Bergsma of Bergsma’s Home Décor in Milton , and
a new
member of The Coatings Alliance.
As a general rule for any paint, the more heavily saturated the
color, the more translucent the paint. Translucency yields coverage
problems by allowing the base surface to show through. Now, for
the first time, a properly applied C2 primer coat with a maximum
of twoC2 finish coats achieves complete coverage. Additionally,
the exterior primers of theAccent Color Systemblock
cedar-bleed and other discolorations due to resins in wood, while
adding years to the longevity of a paint job.
“Over 30 years of painting projects with traditional accents
like brick reds, navies and forest greens, I’ve seen water-based
paints struggle to deliver the results of their oil-based counterparts.
C2 has finally nailed the formula. It delivers great coverage and
a terrific finish,” Jeff Bergsma added.

 Alouette® Light Louvers:
combine the architectural beauty
of a wood shutter, the soft fabric finish of a shade and the light
control and privacy features of a traditional blind. The elliptical-shaped
fabric louvers filter and soften incoming light. When opened, the
view through is crystal clear. When closed, privacy is complete.
Trio Convertible Shades:
give you three beautiful choices: clear
views, complete privacy and anything in between…all in a
soft fabric window covering. The secret lies in Trio’s unique
cellular vane construction. A single operating cord both opens
and closes the vanes or raises and lowers the shade. Available
in a palette of colours in semi-opaque and room-darkening fabrics.
Harmony Cellular Verticals’:
soft, three-dimensional fabric
vanes provide elegance and insulation. Light filtering or room
darkening inserts allow you to control light. Each Harmony vane
creates an innovative pocket cell that gently filters light through
its distinctive elliptical shape. through three-dimensional vanes
that are smooth and soft. Harmony is up to 20% more effective
than traditional verticals in blocking drafts and excessive solar
heating, making them the perfect balance of beauty and function.
