GRAPHENSTONE SHOWS HOW TO SAVE CARBON ON DESIGN PROJECTS AT THE SURFACE DESIGN SHOW ‘ 25
“ Its founder , Patrick Folkes says , “ Whilst often overlooked , air-purifying paints could play a
small but vital role in helping the design and building industries meet important ESG goals . It is excellent to see supply chain transparency and attention to responsible sourcing increase yearly .”
saving , amounting to several tonnes when used in projects of scale .
Woking with its in-house colour consultant , Graphenstone will also present three new colour stories that align with the season ahead . The three stories ; ‘ Smoked Green and Gold ’, ‘ Sophisticated Rouge ’ and ‘ Nostalgic Nod ’, each showcase a key hero colour paired with two additional directional accent colours .
Graphenstone is again joining the Surface Design Show for the 2025 edition and will show visitors how its airpurifying paint technology can help save carbon on architectural and design projects .
For anyone seeking to meet ambitious ESG goals on current or pending projects , or those working to meet Green Building Practice benchmarks , Graphenstone ’ s Cradle to Cradle Certified ® paints can be a costeffective material technology that can help mitigate some of the effects of greenhouse gasses ( CO2e ) at the construction stage as well as helping to improve the air quality inside buildings .
Its formulations fuse traditional raw materials such as lime , calcium carbonates and natural materials with graphene , one of the planet ’ s most robust inert carbon fibres . This combination results in a natural mineralbased coating with Class 1 durability .
Already working with some of the best-in-class sustainable developers and designers , Graphenstone ’ s unique mineral-based formulations mean that its lime paints actively sequester CO2 as they cure ( the majority during the first 30 days following application ), helping to purify the air . When comparing EPD and carbon footprint data to industry standard paint figures , using Graphenstone paints can show a significant CO2e
Visitors to the show will be able to try out the new combinations using Graphenstone ’ s revolutionary ‘ Peel and Stick ’ sustainable colour samples .
These 2D colour ‘ stickers ’ use 30 % recycled materials , are 100 % recyclable and use around 94 % less paint than the average sample pot .
Featuring tiny suction cups that provide a practical low-tack solution , designers and material librarians can show clients and colleagues their perfect colour combinations quickly on-site without having to lug around heavy and messy sample pots .
You can also discover Graphenstone ’ s full range of paints and new Peel and Stick colour samples in selected branches of Brewers Decorator Centres ( Abingdon , Barnstaple , Cambridge North , Cheltenham , Exeter , Leicester Freemans Common , Louth , Maidenhead , Putney , Trowbridge , Surbiton , and York ).
