Colours of Maple carries two exclusive paint brands, Aquilis and Raphael, which are made using the revolutionary MicroBlend technology. Specially formulated with homeowners in mind, Aquilis and Raphael paints can help you get exactly the right amount of paint with no waste. Our paints are:

 

 
 
 
 
    Green: Yes, it does come in a full range of colours. What we’re talking about here is paint with low or no VOCs, which are Volatile Organic Compounds that can cause air pollution and damage to your family’s health. Plus, we use recyclable pails and provide five-gallon bucket liners so you can reuse the pails once the paint is gone. Overall, a more effective way to produce and package these paints make then “greener” than some of the alternatives. As if that’s not enough, here are a few more aspects that make our paint green:
      • Less resources consumed in mining and manufacturing
      • Less resins used in manufacturing (3 versus hundreds used by other manufacturers)
      • Less waste in mining and manufacturing
      • Less energy consumed in manufacturing and paint storage in retail locations and your home
      • Bulk shipping to stores reduces number of trips and saves gas
      • Less landfill clogging
      • Less upstream waste
      • A variety of container sizes means you choose the amount of paint that you need
 

 

High quality:

Other satisfied customers have written to share their raves on the high quality of our exclusive paints. Some even declared that our paints looked better and were easier to use than the paint used by the professional painters they hired for other projects – and that their painters were soon headed to Colours of Maple for their own supply of Aquilis and Raphael paint products!

 

Cost-effective:

Because the paints are made in-store using MicroBlend's Automated Paint Machine™ system, you’re spared the factory labour costs of filling buckets and labelling, boxing, and preparing the paint gallons for shipping. You also don’t have to cover the expensive shipping costs that are added in to the price of factory paint gallons. And because we can make exactly as much paint as you need, there aren’t any extra gallons of paint sitting around.


Easier on your lungs:

Many previous customers have written to us to express gratitude for the lack of fumes in our exclusive brands. They say that they were even able to apply our paint during extreme temperatures that didn’t allow for open windows – and still sleep in the same room that night.

 


Convenient:

Gone are the worries of project delays because your preferred paint colour is out of stock and needs to be ordered and shipped from the manufacturer. With Aquilis and Raphael paints, you just select the paint colour and within moments, you’re headed off with your high-quality, beautifully-blended paint in hand.


 

Full to the brim:

Traditional paint manufacturers leave empty space in each gallon of paint in anticipation of color additions. However, a full 20% of all paint sold is white, with little to no colorant. Using a sophisticated Automated Paint Machine™ system, we mix your paint on the spot and fill the container to the brim, regardless of whether the paint is white or tinted. Not only does that mean that you go home with a full gallon of paint every time, but you are also helping us save 3 paint containers per 100 units sold. Buying paint doesn’t get more thrifty than that!

Perfect for all of your paint needs, Aquilis and Raphael paints also contain the whitest and highest-quality titanium dioxide produced. What does that mean for you?

    • Extraordinarily white paint colour
    • Vibrant results when colours are added to a base of Aquilis or Raphael white paint
    •  A smooth finish when painting over old paint colours

Come for a demonstration

You won't find the MicroBlend system anywhere else in Ontario – and stay tuned because we plan to bring it to the rest of Canada soon!
