What paint products does iPaint use for Windermere's newer homes?
iPaint Painting uses premium Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams products on every Windermere project. For the modern open-concept interiors common throughout Windermere, we typically recommend Benjamin Moore Regal Select or Sherwin-Williams Emerald in eggshell or satin finish. These high-durability formulations resist scuffing and cleaning damage in high-traffic great rooms, hallways, and family areas. All products are backed by iPaint Painting's 5-year written warranty.
Why Premium Paint Matters for Open-Concept Homes
Windermere's newer homes (built from 2005 onward) overwhelmingly feature open-concept floor plans where the kitchen, dining, and living areas share one continuous space. In these layouts, a single wall colour often stretches 30 to 50 linear feet without a break. Any inconsistency in sheen, coverage, or touch-up blending becomes immediately visible across that expanse.
Builder-grade paints lack the pigment density and resin quality to maintain a uniform appearance over large, unbroken surfaces. Premium lines like Benjamin Moore Regal Select contain up to 30 percent more titanium dioxide pigment than builder-grade equivalents, delivering better hide in fewer coats. Sherwin-Williams Emerald uses a proprietary acrylic-alkyd resin that self-levels for a smoother, more uniform finish. Both products retail between $65 and $85 per gallon, compared to $25 to $35 for builder-grade alternatives.
Recommended Finishes by Room Type
- Living rooms and bedrooms: Benjamin Moore Regal Select in eggshell (Matte finish code 549) provides a soft, sophisticated look with good washability. Ideal for low-to-moderate traffic rooms.
- Kitchens, hallways, and family rooms: Sherwin-Williams Emerald in satin delivers superior scuff resistance and can handle frequent cleaning with damp cloths. Perfect for the high-traffic zones that define Windermere's open layouts.
- Bathrooms and laundry rooms: Benjamin Moore Aura Bath and Spa is specifically formulated with mildew-resistant properties for high-humidity environments. This product maintains colour integrity even with daily steam exposure.
- Trim, doors, and cabinetry: Benjamin Moore Advance in semi-gloss provides a hard, furniture-quality finish that resists yellowing over time. It applies like a latex but cures to a smooth, alkyd-like surface.
How iPaint Painting Selects Products for Your Home
During every free interior painting estimate, iPaint Painting assesses each room's traffic level, lighting conditions, and existing surface condition to recommend the right product and finish combination. We carry full Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams fan decks to every appointment so you can evaluate colours under your home's actual lighting. Windermere homes with south-facing great rooms, for example, need different undertone considerations than north-facing bedrooms.
