In home improvement trends, Clarksville DIY enthusiasts have made the local introduction of a recycled paint brand a success story for a Clarksville thrift store. GreenSheen, an eco-friendly paint company, has experienced a remarkable surge in local sales, and the store manager attributes this to the growing community of flippers, investors and do-it-yourself residents working in Clarksville’s current building boom.
“Customers that have shopped with us for years for gently used furniture, building materials and housewares have been buying up GreenSheen paint since we introduced it in January,” says Penny McEntee, Manager at The Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Downtown Clarksville. “We’ve already had to reorder hundreds of gallons and clear out a whole section of the store to keep enough in stock.”
Environmentally Friendly Product
GreenSheen is a high-quality recycled paint made from discarded latex paint, that also has appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. “Providing GreenSheen paint aligns with their values and goes right along with our process of accepting any useable building materials or household items to keep them out of Bi-County Landfill.” McEntee said. “It’s a perfect match for our store and provides a value to the whole community.”
Experts suggest that the rise in DIY projects, fueled by increased time spent at home and a desire for cost-effective home improvements, has also powered surge in demand for affordable and sustainable paint options. GreenSheen’s recycled paint not only aligns with eco-friendly values but also offers an attractive price point for the budget-conscious.
GreenSheen Paint is available in 18 designer colors and is suitable for indoor and outdoor
applications. The retail price is $21.00 per gallon and is also available in 5-gallon pails.
Habitat for Humanity ReStore is open Monday-Saturday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. at 408 Madison St, in Downtown Clarksville. Phone (931) 645-4242 and online at www.habitatmctn.org/restore/
