New Spray Paint Formula and Design from Valspar

Valspar Corportation has introduced a new, breakthrough spray paint formula and can design. The new changes allow consumers to discover the power in colour more easily than they have ever experienced before.

“Our new Valspar Spray Paint is based on extensive research into everything consumers want in a spray paint—and have never gotten in the past,” said Jane Ryder, Category Manager, Valspar Consumer. “Simplicity, ease of use, and the best colors are at the core of the new design and formula.”

Valspar Paint boasts:

•  Easy-to-Use Design: The new and uniquely designed Valspar Spray Paint can makes the spray painting experience easier, faster and cleaner than ever. The can’s large, comfortable finger pad requires 35% less finger pressure than other spray paint cans. The patented spray top, an integral part of the can’s design, shields the finger from paint for a cleaner spray-painting process and also features a twist and lock design, so there is no separate top to remove or replace after use. The built in twist and lock mechanism enables cleaner and safer painting and storage by preventing unintentional spraying.

•  Improved Paint Formula: Valspar Spray Paint’s new formula provides enhanced, consistent coverage, even in small crevices or textured surfaces such as wicker. The paint features a quick dry formula that allows fast touch ups, without a complicated recoat window. Valspar Spray Paint also dries smoother for a more polished, professional looking project with the perfect finish.

The new paint formula and design will minimize common issues: finger fatigue, dripping and spitting. 

Professionals to 'do-it-yourself' first-timers, spray painters can easily create amazing looking projects in a short period of time.


Valspar Spray Paint is available at Lowe's stores nationwide and select independent retailers. For more information about Valspar spray paint, project ideas, or to locate a retailer, please visit ValsparSpray.com

The Timber Kings are back in TV town!

On January 4, 2015, the men of Pioneer Log Homes returned to begin their second season of Timber Kings, the No. 1 show on HGTV.

Pioneer Log Homes is located in Williams Lake B.C. Canada and is the largest builder of handcrafted log homes in the world. They have taken old European wood joinery techniques and adapted the "Norwegian Wedge Notch" to lock their building logs together. The notch repels moisture better than any other method. For every tree they take down (which can supply one to two house logs depending on the size) they plant seven more. 1.5 million trees have been planted to this date.

"We are very humbled by the success of Season 1, however it’s still a surprise that so many people watched the show. We always knew that what we do is special, but it’s just been so neat to see so many people also mesmerized by it." said Andre Chevigny, the general manager of Pioneer Log Homes, on the success of Season 1 in an interview with Canada.com

With their fifth episode airing next week, each episode you learn something new about their building techniques and what they endure to provide the best log cabin they can give their client. For example, the 'Family Tree' is the character log (centerpiece) that supports the roof system of the home.
