![]() SW uses mostly Titanium dioxide in their paints. Showcase (Lowe's SW product) is a cheaper version of Duration (SW Stores only).īy cheaper I mean not only the price but the manufacturing of the product. Ovation (Lowes SW product) is a cheaper version of Superpaint (SW stores only). Sherwin Williams owns Valspar so that is why SW is increasing the amount of their paint that is sold in Lowe's. For example SW6106 - Kilim Beige at Lowes is HGSW3147. all colors that say HGSW on the color card at Lowes are official Sherwin Williams colors. ![]() Now I hate when people call Behr "Behrs".Īnyway. I used to hate when people called it Sherman Williams when I was ran a few commercial stores but now it makes me laugh. That is why the price is so much more attractive and on top of that pro contractors will get up to 20% discount on Behr products as well as Kilz products (Masco owns Kilz).Īsk me anything about any product between the two brands I will answer honestly. SW just had another price increase as well two weeks ago and have at least 2 more coming over the next 12-16 months.īehr is owned by Masco Corporation. Then during those "incredible" 40% off sales they have the store level still profits $9 and 25% margins. All of those sales trickle back through stock purchases (I wont bore anyone with the details of this) and ultimately ALL pays out to SW the corporation. Now the store sells it for $60 and that specific store makes $33 profit (55% margins). The distributor division then marks it up to $27 and sells it to the store division (your stand alone SW stores). So there is the division that makes the paint for $12 a gallon and marks it up to $18 and sells it to the distributor division. It is a very unique system that is honestly genius if you are a VP or chairman but not so much as a store level employee and definitely not as a buying customer. IE: SW Duration and Behr i100 is not an actual comparison.Īs for pricing.I break this down pretty much every day for a contractor or even paint department employee in Home Depot. If you're going to make statement such as "2 coats of sherwin williams on walls that would have taken 3 coats with behr" please list the products you use. I am Behr Pro rep and previously ran mutliple SW stores.
