THE SECRETS OF VISIONARY THINKERS 10 RULES
SUCCESS
YOU’RE GETTING WARMER
As temperatures cool, consumers are moving to warm, bold hues for their walls
Written by Lisa Gordon
It happens every year: One day, we wake up to find that summer is but a memory. The nip of fall is in the air. Crisp days are filled with leaves that are falling faster than the temperature. Before you know it, it’s time to move indoors once again.
As we retreat inside our homes, indoor projects become front and centre. While it’s true that there may still be some warm days ahead for outdoor projects, it’s also a certainty that
a coat of fresh colour is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to update the look of any space.
As 2024 winds down and we prepare to welcome 2025, Contractor Advantage takes the temperature of Castle Building Centres’ paint and coatings vendors to discover the hottest trends for this cooling season.

COMPLEX COLOURS
Cloverdale Paint Inc. is a family-owned Canadian coatings manufacturer and distributer with 73 stores across the country. Kevin Skelly, Marketing Manager, says colours are cyclical.
“Typically, (there is) a 10-year ‘wholesale’ change in directions for colours, based on wider societal fashions, trends and interests,” he said.
Whether it is for outdoor decking or indoor walls, shades with undertones have been trending for 2024, according to Skelly. Colours continue to be “complex,” while inviting the outdoors to come inside. “Complex colours refer to the undertone nature of the colours – depending upon the light source throughout the day, the colour could appear slightly different.”
The undertones of interior paint are not as noticeable as those on an automobile, for example, but the same hue can react differently depending on the environment. Light sources bring out undertones, offered Skelly.
“A warm orange sun will provide an orange-red cast to colours; similarly, more grey/cooler environments may provide a cooler look to the same hue.”
the walls of the places where we spend much of our time, in our homes and offices.
“Influence from the internet, social media, TV shows, and even large global events such as the Olympics certainly push colours into the limelight,” he said.
While consumers are concerned about a product’s environmental impact, Skelly said they are also searching for high-quality products with built in features, like ease of application and durability, so they don’t have to paint as often. With this in mind, Cloverdale launched Guardian Plus Interior Paint in 2024 to complement its Guardian Exterior Finishes line. “It is the latest, high-end product that has exceptional scrub resistance for residential and commercial applications,” said Skelly.
Heading into 2025, he believes the economy will have an impact on the paint and coatings market, as it did in 2024. Inflation and interest rates have a big influence on how consumers spend, he remarked.
Skelly sees paint as part of two very general movements: new construction and maintenance. “When times are strong, we see lots of building, renovations and maintenance happening. When the economy is tighter and money is not going as far, it’s more about maintenance,” he explained.

EXPRESSIONS WITH COLOUR
Martin Fuchs, PPG Senior Marketing Manager –Architectural Coatings Canada, told Contractor Advantage that Sico has revamped its lineup over the past couple of years and now offers their “best-ever Sico paints and colourants.” A global supplier of paints, coatings and specialty materials, PPG was founded over 140 years ago.
PPG has designed several of its paints to contain both paint and primer. Fuchs said this was prompted by customers who are working on several projects with tight turnarounds. Sico’s Prestige paint plus primer covers existing paint colours with only one coat, said Fuchs. “This makes life easier and increases efficiency, all while maintaining a high-quality finish.”
Quick drying times also keep projects moving, added Fuchs. Fast-drying formulations can decrease project times while still creating a smooth, durable finish. He said Sico 360 interior and exterior enamel paint features an early block resistance that lets doors and cabinets close after only 30 minutes.
In the early days of 2024, calm and soothing tones balanced out by earthen and twilight shades were trending, observed Fuchs. Light colours had gained popularity. “We saw greens being paired with floral hues, and dynamic blues and dark neutrals taking shape with brighter colours.” This contrasts to the cooler colours that previously dominated the market, he added.

“Greys are on their way out, as brighter, warmer colours are taking centre stage.”
The environment plays a big part in deciding which colours consumers purchase. Fuchs sees people starting to embrace colours that express themselves, personalizing spaces rather than creating a style to meet resale value projections. Trends and styles can change rapidly, and people are now drawn to “colours they prefer,” he said.
Consumers are seeking sustainable products that perform at a high level, without compromising on quality. Fuchs said it’s very important to have numerous options with low to zero VOCs, in order to satisfy consumer concerns. “We’re offering our consumers sustainably advantaged options while still exceeding performance expectations.”
Heading into 2025, Fuchs feels there will be more creativity and colour diversity in the paint market. He expects consumers to be bolder and more expressive with colour selections.
With that in mind, Sico recently named its 2025 Colour of the Year, Starry Night (6044-83). Sico colour forecasters say this deep, bold violet will attract both DIY and professional painters because of its emphasis on self-expression and discovery.
INSPIRED BY NATURE
Barbara Collet, Sales Coordinator at Société Laurentide Inc., a national paints and coatings manufacturer and supplier, said warm shades like terra cotta, clay and browns are making a comeback this year. She believes consumers are moving towards comforting interior colours with a natural connection, including not just browns, but also rich greens, soft blues, warm whites and beiges.
While interior cool greys are fading in popularity, charcoals and dark greys remain popular for exterior paints and stains, according to Collet. “They offer a modern, sleek look, often paired with warm wooden accents or natural stone.”
Homeowners looking for a more organic feel on the exterior are leaning towards neutral browns and taupes. Dark greens and sage are popular for homes set in natural landscapes, she said, while modern homes searching for a dramatic-chic look are using soft blacks.
Collet feels colour popularity is influenced by many factors. Colour choices are impacted by broader cultural movements and social trends. Psychological and economic conditions also affect colour choices, as people are drawn to colours that evoke emotional responses.
“Blues and greens are often chosen for their calming effects; yet during uncertain times, people tend to prefer comforting colours that provide a sense of security,” she said, adding that fashion and design trends often trickle into interior design.

Société Laurentide Inc.
Collet also highlighted the increasing demand for low VOC and non-toxic paints. Environmental awareness will continue to shape the market and brands will likely expand their sustainable paint offerings to meet eco-conscious consumers’ expectations. It is important to focus on sustainable development, reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs), protect the environment and preserve our resources, she explained. “Our Boomerang 100 percent recycled paint has been manufactured for over 20 years.”
She revealed that Laurentide will be launching a new Boomerang product in spring 2025, a tintable white base 1 recycled paint.
Durability and weather resistance are always in demand for exterior paints and stains, especially with an increased frequency of extreme weather events. Products that focus on UV resistance, mould prevention, and water repellency will be on the rise, predicted Collet.
“Expect growth in the use of specialty coatings, (including) anti-corrosion and anti-graffiti, as demands are more focused towards functional paints for infrastructure projects.”
Moving into 2025, Collet believes the home improvement trend will continue since consumers still crave comfortable, personalized living spaces. DIY-friendly paints and easy-to-use products will remain popular.
A continued focus on mental wellness will affect colour trends, she concluded. “Paint companies will continue marketing colours that are linked to well-being and mental health, leveraging the psychology of colour to influence consumer choices.”
TIMELESS, BUT BOLD
Sherwin-Williams is a global supplier of paint and coating products. Matt Hedberg, the company’s Product Marketing Manager, said consumer preferences are constantly evolving, making it paramount to offer quality products that fit the needs and expectations of both DIY and professional customers.
With that in mind, Sherwin-Williams launched Valspar architectural paint products, which entered the Canadian marketplace earlier this year. “It prompted us to formulate a streamlined product offering that clearly articulates the features and benefits of our various product lines.”
Hedberg said durability continues to be a top priority for interior products. Busy households need painted surfaces that allow for easy
clean-up of common household stains, all while maintaining colour and finish. When it comes to exterior products, consumers want durability and longevity. “They expect their finish to hold up to extreme weather conditions, resist cracking, peeling and colour fading, all while offering a smooth uniform finish.”
Sustainable products have continued to gain momentum over the last few years. Hedberg expects to see sustainable practices continuing to be top-of-mind with consumers, and said Sherwin-Williams will monitor consumer expectations closely. “Today, the vast majority of Valspar’s interior products are Greenguard Gold Certified,” he added, which means they meet prescribed health-based criteria with lower total VOC emissions.

Sue Kim, Colour Marketing Director at Sherwin-Williams, has seen a “braver” approach to colour this year. Cooler shades of blue and green are being used to emphasize colours with warm grey undertones. “Along with popular usage of darker shades, the moody colours in ‘colour drenched’ looks are bringing the heritage look to our homes,” she declared.
She also confirmed that consumers are phasing out cool greys as a top choice at Sherwin-Williams. Consumers are embracing colours with longevity and versatility to use in various spaces of their homes.
Kim said global lifestyle trends across culture, media, fashion, design, technology, and even food are researched by the colour, design and style experts at Valspar, to help them choose
the shades that best represent what is to come. Consumers are hoping to cultivate a happier living space through colour, with hues like Valspar’s 2025 Colour of the Year, Epic Adventure V073-6, stated Kim.
“Consumers are starting to take a more adventurous approach by embracing timeless but bold colour choices in the home – an exciting shift!”
With 2024 coming to a close, all indications point to consumers leaning towards warmer tones that embody the peace and calm of nature, as homeowners begin to take a more dramatic approach to interior and exterior colour.
Just how ‘bold’ will they go? 2025 will tell the tale. —

THE SECRETS OF VISIONARY THINKERS 10 RULES FOR BRAINSTORMING SUCCESS
Written by Susan Robertson
At various times, the popular press raises the idea that group brainstorming isn’t effective at generating creative solutions. That assertion is erroneous, for a variety of reasons. Groups can - and do - successfully brainstorm creative and useful solutions.
But research does show that effective brainstorming requires adherence to some specific guidelines. If it’s done casually, without guidelines, and the sessions are run by people with no knowledge of how to do it well, it will be significantly less effective than it could be.
It will either result in unrestrained chaos with no momentum to move the project forward, or it will just be plain boring (which also results in no momentum).
(And for those of you who know that brainstorming is only one technique in a creative thinking toolbox, please excuse the shortcut. Most people think of brainstorming as any idea generation, and that’s the way it’s used here.)
So, how do you set up your brainstorming sessions for success?
Follow the rules. They will see you safely through the necessary level of chaos, to the strategic momentum you’re hoping for.
1. FREE THEM FROM THE FEAR.
It’s very difficult for people to share ideas if they’re concerned about possible negative consequences. A process and a setting that help people get past the fear are critical for
the brainstorming to be effective. One key principle in creating this setting is to prohibit any evaluation (even positive evaluation) during the idea generation.
2. USE THE POWER OF THE GROUP.
Build, combine, and create new ideas in the moment. Don’t just collect ideas that people have already had. The building and combining is where
the magic happens. Occasionally break up into pairs or small groups. This will encourage even more sharing and combining of ideas.
3. GET SOME OUTSIDE STIMULUS.
Asking the same group of people to sit in the same room and review the same information they’ve seen before is unlikely to result in exciting, new ideas. Talk to your customers, talk to other experts, explore how other industries are doing it. Have the meeting in the park or in a museum. Bring some toys into the room. There are countless ways to shake things up; try something new every time.
4. ENCOURAGE THE CRAZY.
Everyone has heard someone say at the beginning of a brainstorming, “every idea is a good idea.” And then there’s a collective eye roll because no one believes it. While it’s not true that every idea is a practical idea, it is true that every idea can offer useful stimulus for additional ideas. Sometimes those ideas that are tossed out as jokes can be the spark that leads to a new direction and a winning idea. So allow, encourage, and use every idea, even if only for creative fodder.
5. IT’S A NUMBERS GAME.
The more “at bats” you have, the more likely you are to hit a home-run. So drive for quantity of ideas. Ensure the session is long enough to generate lots. If you only spend 10 minutes on brainstorming, don’t expect great results.
6. LAUGH A LOT.
Humour stimulates creativity, so let it happen. One easy way to start off a session; have everyone introduce themselves by answering a fun or silly question. One example you could use in the fall: “What’s something you DON’T need more of for the holidays?” Some of the answers could even start sparking real ideas for the session!
7. HOMEWORK IS REQUIRED.
Both individual and group efforts are critical for success. So expect and insist on individual preparation in advance and follow-up afterward. Ensure everyone knows the goal in advance of the session, and ask them to do some homework before they arrive. When the session is over, create an action plan that allows ideas to continue to be shaped and added to as you move forward.
8. IT’S NOT FOR AMATEURS.
Effective brainstorming requires knowledge and skill, both to participate, and especially to facilitate. It’s a completely different set of techniques and expertise than running other meetings, so don’t assume you can
do it well just because you can run a great meeting. If you don’t have a facilitator in your team who has the skill to train the group and run the session, hire an external one, or get some training to develop the skills internally.
9. IF IT LOOKS LIKE A DUCK, BUT DOESN’T ACT LIKE A DUCK, IT’S NOT A DUCK. If you can’t, or don’t intend to, follow the guidelines for successful brainstorming, then don’t call it brainstorming. For example, a meeting that just becomes a stage for one person to spout their ideas isn’t useful or engaging. And if a brainstorming is not organized and structured appropriately, everyone in the room will feel how ineffective it is, and they’ll be sure to skip your next session. So, either set up for success, or don’t bother.
10. YOU’RE NOT DONE UNTIL YOU DECIDE. You’ve all been in this situation; it’s the end of a brainstorming session, you’ve created a long list
of ideas, and someone volunteers to type up and distribute the list. And…. that’s the end. There’s no action, or at least not that anyone is aware of. It’s fairly demotivating to spend time and energy generating ideas and then feel they went nowhere. So, plan time for, and require the group to do, some prioritizing of ideas during the session. Spend at least an equal amount of time on converging as you do on diverging. Yes, you read that right. If you generate ideas for an hour, also spend an hour on selecting, clarifying, and refining ideas at the back end. If you leave the meeting with a huge list of potential ideas, that’s not success. You want to leave the meeting with a short list of clear ideas, and a plan for action on each of them. —
The right tools can simplify, speed up and improve almost any job, and never has having them on hand been so important.
As finding skilled labour and subtrades continues to be a challenge nationwide, it is even more essential to have the best, timeand effort-saving tools on hand.
“We are seeing a movement back to where the general contractor is once again doing more of the work, rather than subbing out to trades,” says Ted Fuller, Vice President at King Canada Tools. “Lack of trades folk and tight timelines means that the GC must work on many facets of a job to meet deadlines… For us, this translates to increases in additions of shop equipment and not just jobsite equipment.”
Fuller says, to him, cool tools are ones that not only stand out in terms of innovation but also provide real value and efficiency to contractors.
With that in mind, Contractor Advantage has once again reached out to leading tool vendors across Canada to find out what tools they consider cool, and think will bring value and benefits to contractors this year and for the year ahead.

EASING USER FRUSTRATIONS
Evan Joseph, Director of Product Marketing for Hand Tools at Stanley Black and Decker Canada says the company’s soon-launching new measuring tapes are designed to make life easier for contractors.
“It starts with the end user, understanding their frustrations and needs to help them get their job done in a more efficient manner. The New Stanley FatMax Premium Tape addresses many of these end-user frustrations.”
Examples of this frustration cutting include: a two-sided blade print to make overhead measuring less difficult; an integrated finger break for better ergonomics and performance; and the longest and strongest reach of any FatMax tape at 17’. Importantly, for blade durability, it has 6” of BladeArmour and mylar coating.

A MOBILE WORKSTATION
From DEWALT Canada comes a new storage system that the company’s Product Commercialization Manager for Storage, Paul Lemaitre, says is unique on the market: the ToughSystem 2.0 DXL.
“There is nothing like this on the market today and the important point is how we have used this unique offering to expand our ToughSystem 2.0 platform with innovation. This is a product that bridges the gap between modular storage, metal storage and a workstation.”
ToughSystem 2.0 DXL is a 30” platform while current modular storage on the market is 17” to 22”, he says. “This product fulfills many customer pain points by providing modularity, stackability, and portability with a waist-high worksurface while providing organization and security for your tools.”
The platform consists of multiple components: a single deep drawer unit capable of holding 55 lbs. with configurable dividers; a unit with two shallow drawers able to hold 27.5 lbs. with configurable dividers; a worktop surface that can hold
88 lbs. with a grab handle, two cup holders and pre-engraved measuring; a four-wheel dolly with a 440 lbs. capacity.
It boasts several features such as security bars to ensure safe transit, full compatibility with existing ToughSystem 2.0 full and half units, and integration rails compatible with most DEWALT workshop accessories.
HASSLE-FREE DOOR INSTALLS
The new Quick Door Hanger Bracket from Richelieu is a fail-proof system that allows for quick and hassle-free door installation for everyone from beginners to pros, says Pierre Brault, National Corporate Account Manager at the company.
“Whether you are a beginner or a pro, this is simply the easiest and fastest way of hanging professional doors that are perfectly plumb and have a perfect reveal… up to five times faster than shimming a door.”
The bracket works with hollow- and heavy solid-core doors, require no shimming, and allow for easy adjustment for professional installs.
They require no nailing through to door jam or frame eliminating any patch work, and they can be completely concealed with door trim. The brackets are available as a single kit or contractor pack for 10 doors.

A RANGE OF CORDLESS OPTIONS
In looking at what tools provide innovation, value and efficiency, King Canada Tool’s Fuller points to the company’s growing partnership with cordless tool manufacturer Einhell.
“While the big brands get most of the truck space, Einhell is super-affordable and making room for specialty tools or duplicate tools.” He says the cost of tools on the company’s battery platform make it perfect for second tools, but also that there’s a wide range of unique tools contractors might not find on other platforms.
“A cordless paint sprayer or even a cordless drain auger are good examples,” he says. “Einhell has all the core tools covered and a host of exceptional and innovative tools as well. There is also a great assortment of outdoor power equipment on the same platform, which makes the justification for additional tools quite easy.”
“The obvious trend is to everything cordless. This couldn’t be truer with Einhell. This extends to everything from wet-dry vacuum cleaners and air compressors to air pumps and submersible water pumps. The pure convenience of cordless is taking over. The power is unbelievable now.”
INNOVATIVE SCREWDRIVER BITS
EAB (Exchange-A-Blade) Tool Company this year launched DUO BIT by Stay Sharp, a line of impact-ready screwdriver bits offering 20 convenient double-ended bits—doing double duty.
Product Manager Dave Cameron highlights this practical, time-saving power tool accessory as one of the most exciting tools from the company. “We developed the DUO BIT line to provide end users with the convenience of having two screwdriver bits in one, thus eliminating the frustration of needing two different bits for a single job.”
“With a simple switch, two jobs can be completed with one bit,” Cameron says. “DUO BIT will truly transform the way contractors work, saving them time and money.”
Key features of the bits include: their double-ended design providing the two most common bits in one; impact-ready torsion zone to absorb the high torque load of today’s impact drivers; and colour coding for easy identification. The bits are made from special tempered S2 steel for durability and performance.

BATTERY-ASSISTED MATERIAL MOVING
Coming soon to Makita’s 36V(18Vx2) LXT is its new Brushless Material Mover with XL Bucket, Electric Dump (DCU602Z).
While other options for powered wheelbarrows exist, they’ve usually been engine-based or use old-style batteries, says Jayant Lamba, Product Manager of OPE and Cleaning Solutions at Makita Canada. However, the DCU602Z he says it delivers more active time is lightweight and can carry up to 650 lbs. at once, doing 5km an hour. And this version can dump the weight because it has a hydraulic.
He calls the mover super-easy, saying it can handle any slopes commonly found on a jobsite (up to 15°), and can carry liquids. It’s all about reducing effort and bringing ease and convenience to the jobsite, he says, and, of course, it works with existing Makita LXT batteries.
Flatbed versions are also available with an electric lift (DCU601Z) or manual dump (DCU604Z), as well as a flat bucket version (DCU605Z).
ORGANIZATION EFFICIENCY
Tara Coen, Director of Product and Marketing at Task Tools calls her company’s new 16” dual action tool bag “a fantastic little workhorse to organize your tools.”
“It has a tough hard base and centre divider that splits the bag into two compartments. It’s got plenty of loops, hooks and pockets and looks sharp on site.”
The bag boasts 26 interior pockets and one interior zippered pocket, seven exterior pockets and one exterior zippered pocket, and a Velcro loop to attach additional accessories. As its name suggests, it can be accessed from both sides with a centre barrier.
Its 600D polyester construction gives it durability and abrasion resistance, plus it has a hard plastic bottom for additional durability. A card holder offers easy identification.

A GROWING FAMILY
Sarah Margach, Strategic Account Manager at Milwaukee Tool says her company’s new battery additions to its M18 line, and one-ton chain hoist are two of its coolest tools.
The new M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE HD12.0 battery delivers 50% more power than the High Output HD12.0, high-speed cooling, a 35-minute supercharge to 80% and the longest life on the M18 system. A new M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE XC8.0 provides High Output HD12.0 power, but in a smaller size, and similarly includes high-speed cooling, a 35-minute supercharge to 80% and long life. Both batteries are Cool-Cycle capable when paired with the company’s M18 Dual Bay Simultaneous Super Charger.
“It is exciting to see the continuous innovation Milwaukee has been able to bring to the M18 battery platform over the last decade,” Margach says. “These batteries are going to take M18 tool efficiency and power to another level, which is super cool.”
Milwaukee’s M18 Compact 1-Ton Chain Hoist w/One-Key is designed to give users effortless installs, less downtime and improved mobility. It’s powered by M18 REDLITHIUM Batteries, eliminating the need to set up extension cords to power hoists onsite. A kitted wireless remote delivers enhanced control in each lift. Equipped with 60ft of remote range, variable speed and fine adjustment, users gain more visibility and accurate installs.
With a 46lb compact, lightweight design, and kitted PACKOUT Rolling Cart, the chain hoist gives users the ability to more efficiently move around the site. Designed to lift in both inverted and standard orientations, the hoist increases material lifting versatility while decreasing onsite strain.
“The M18 chain hoist was designed in true Milwaukee fashion, to eliminate user frustration and get the job done quicker,” Margach says. “The productivity this tool allows a user to have is such a cool feature of this product.” —
