For professional decorators, time is money. Whether they are working on large commercial projects or residential refreshes, the materials and tools they choose directly impact their efficiency—and ultimately, their bottom line. Decor8 Northern understands the value of high-quality products in helping traders complete their work quickly and to the highest standard.
The Efficiency Equation: Quality Products Save Time
A common frustration for decorators is the need to apply multiple coats of paint to achieve the desired finish. Lower-quality paints often require more layers, which not only uses more product but also increases the time spent on the job. Decor8 Northern offers a wide range of premium trade decorating brands—Benjamin Moore, Dulux Trade, Crown Trade, Tikkurila, and Sandtex Trade—all known for their superior coverage. These brands help traders reduce the number of coats needed, allowing them to complete projects faster without sacrificing the quality of the finish.
Using high-coverage paints enables decorators to spend less time applying coats and more time on the next phase of the project. The less time they spend on each job, the more jobs they can take on, increasing productivity and overall earnings.
Faster Drying Times for Quick Turnarounds
In addition to offering better coverage, many of the trade paints available at Decor8 Northern boast faster drying times. Brands such as Sandtex Trade for exteriors and Crown Trade products are designed to dry quickly, allowing for quicker reapplication or completion of projects. This is particularly important for exterior work, where weather conditions can cause delays. The quicker the paint dries, the sooner decorators can finish the job and move on to the next, keeping clients happy and schedules on track.
For indoor projects, fast-drying paints are a real game changer, reducing downtime for businesses or homeowners and allowing decorators to promise quicker turnarounds without compromising on quality.
Tools That Improve Efficiency
It’s not just about the paint. High-quality tools also play a crucial role in boosting on-the-job efficiency. Decor8 Northern carries a variety of professional-grade tools from trusted brands like Hamilton for brushes and rollers, and Olfa for cutting tools. Using premium brushes and rollers ensures smoother, faster application, while tools like Olfa knives help decorators achieve clean, precise results quickly.
Inferior brushes or rollers can leave streaks, shed bristles, or result in uneven finishes, causing delays as decorators spend time fixing mistakes. Investing in high-quality tools helps them work more efficiently, achieving professional results faster with fewer complications.
While premium products from brands like Tikkurila, Benjamin Moore, and Crown Trade may come with a higher upfront cost, they save traders money in the long term. Superior coverage and durability mean fewer coats of paint and less time on-site, which translates to savings on materials and labour. In addition, the longevity of these premium finishes means fewer callbacks for touch-ups or repairs, keeping clients satisfied and reducing time spent on maintenance jobs.
The more efficiently decorators can complete each job, the more projects they can take on, ultimately increasing their profitability.
