This Canadian-made paint offers superior coverage and gorgeous colour in only a single coat.
Last week, we had the privilege of testing Home Hardware’s Beauti-Tone Designer series paint, and did we ever put it through its paces. This test was performed in a high-traffic family room that serves as an activity room for two young kids, and 3-month old puppy, while also providing the home’s main access to the backyard. Additionally, the room had been painted a fairly dark, caramel brown. This means that Beauti-Tone’s coverage, durability, drying speed, and washability needed to be of the highest quality.
Beauti-Tone Designer Series paint is a high-quality, 100% acrylic paint and primer in one. It features ceramic, microsphere technology which provides a smooth, durable, stain-resistant finish. This makes it an exceptional option for high-traffic spaces, like the one we tested.
This paint has also been treated with a fungicide, which makes it an ideal solution for rooms that experience a lot of moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms.
Putting the Paint to the Test
Overall, we were very pleased with the performance and appearance of Beauti-Tone Designer Series paint. Here’s what we loved:
- Low Odour
- Smooth Application
- Excellent Coverage
- Fast Drying
After opening the can, the first thing you’ll notice is that while there is a paint scent present, it’s actually very mild. In fact, the scent didn’t spread throughout the home at all, despite the fact that we painted a room on a relatively open-concept main floor.
The specs on Beauti-Tone Designer Series paint state that each gallon provides up to 500 square feet of coverage, and after our test we believe this to be 100% true. We purposefully chose a light grey paint colour to really test how well it would cover the room’s darker walls. The result? It performed beautifully after only a single coat, providing full, opaque coverage without even a hint of the old paint showing through.
Even better was the fact that it dried completely within just over an hour’s time. This is an absolute must-have when your kids and puppy decide to strike up an impromptu round of tag indoors.
Made in Canada
