Last evening many CDECA GTA West Chapter Decorators attended our monthly event at
Bergsma's Paint and Decor in Milton. Wow... what a fantastic showroom and the seminar was great as well. Jeff Bergsma who knows this business inside/out gave us the scoop about the newest in C2 Paint which will be of interest to all of us undertaking paint projects. C2 has the best pigments of all paint and they use anywhere from 5 - 8 different pigments in varying amounts to create incredible saturated paint colours. This paint has a built in primer which speeds up the labour time, thus lessens the cost. One of the interesting details about C2 paint is that they do not use black colorant, since it absorbs rather than reflects light. By using many different colorants to create their colours they are able to produce luxurious and pure colour. Currently they have 496 colours in their palette, and will be rolling out 56 new colours within the next month. Of course this paint qualifies for LEED credits and has 0 VOC.
Of particular interest is the newest collection they have introduced - their Cabinet & Trim paint which can also be used on Floors. The technology is amazing in that it provides an 'oil' like finish and silky hand, however is water based.
The second part of our evening was spent learning everything new in the lighting business which is changing for the better every day. Phillip Todoroff, a Lighting Representative, Designer and Educator shared the latest in LED technology and the most up to date in bulb innovations from Phillips.
We enjoyed lovely refreshments compliments of Bergsmas and toured their great showroom. This is a must visit location! Thanks to all for providing us with a fabulous and educational evening.
