Why Nolan Painting Uses Premium Products From Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore
Why We Use Sherwin-Williams Emerald and Benjamin Moore Regal Select Paint for Our Customers’ Homes
If you’ve received an estimate from Nolan Painting, you may have noticed that we often recommend Sherwin-Williams Emerald or Benjamin Moore Regal Select Interior Paint. Are these products worth the upgrade over standard paint?
Our answer is yes.
After painting many homes throughout the Greater Philadelphia area, we’ve found that Emerald and Regal Select consistently deliver durability, appearance, and long-term value. While there are many quality paints on the market, Emerald and Regal Select stand out for their washability, stain resistance, color retention, and overall performance.
Why We Recommend Sherwin-Williams Emerald and Benjamin Moore Regal Select
1. Exceptional Washability
One of the biggest advantages of Sherwin-Williams Emerald and Benjamin Moore Regal Select is its washability. Unlike many standard interior paints, common household stains are less likely to penetrate the paint film, making them easier to wipe away. Fingerprints, food splatters, and everyday marks can often be cleaned without damaging the finish. In our experience, this makes Emerald and Regal Select an excellent choice for kitchens, hallways, family rooms, mudrooms, and homes with children or pets.
2. Burnish Resistant Finish
Have you ever scrubbed a wall only to notice a shiny spot where you cleaned it? That’s called burnishing, and it’s common with lower-quality paints. Repeated cleaning can polish the surface, leaving noticeable glossy patches. Emerald and Regal Select is burnish resistant, so the finish stays consistent even after routine cleaning. Your walls continue to look freshly painted instead of developing uneven shiny areas over time.
3. Excellent Color Retention
Rooms with large windows receive plenty of natural light, but that sunlight can cause some paints to fade over time. Sherwin-Williams Emerald and Benjamin Moore Regal Select products are formulated to provide excellent color retention, helping paint colors stay rich and vibrant even in sun-filled spaces. Whether you’ve chosen a bright white or a deep accent color, Emerald and Regal Select helps preserve that freshly painted look longer.
4. Mildew Resistant for Humid Rooms
Bathrooms, laundry rooms, and powder rooms experience more moisture than the rest of the home. Emerald and Regal Select’s mildew-resistant finish makes them excellent choices for these spaces by helping protect the painted surface in humid conditions. While proper ventilation is still important, using a paint designed for moisture-prone areas adds another level of protection.
5. Low VOC and Low Odor
Many homeowners ask if they’ll need to leave the house while we’re painting. Sherwin-Williams Emerald and Benjamin Moore Regal Select are Low VOC interior paints with very low odor, creating a more comfortable painting experience for homeowners, children, and pets. Using these products also contribute to better indoor air quality during and after your painting project.
