GRAPHENSTONE ’ S

AIR PURIFYING PAINTS

Are the perfect fit for restoration and repainting projects .
Graphenstone will show why its range of air purifying and Cradle to Cradle Certified ® paints are perfect for restoration , repainting and construction projects at the Surface Design Show and at Futurebuild 2025 .
With an expanding clientele in the heritage and refurbishment sector including prominent clients such as the Royal Opera and Ballet , the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford , Historic Royal Palaces , English Heritage , Grosvenor Estates , Church House Westminster ( Grade-II listed ), and the Mall Galleries ( Grade-I listed ), Graphenstone is fastbecoming the go-to brand for those seeking a best-in-class sustainable paint option with full traceability , and which meet rigorous Green Building standards .
Graphenstone ’ s range of paints 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 mineral-based coating with Class 1 durability .
This unique Graphene technology operates at a nanotech level , providing structural support and exceptional strength , resulting in a 20 % increase in flexibility .
The paints produced by Graphenstone boast outstanding photocatalytic capabilities , actively breaking down harmful emissions in the air . The company estimates that up to 5 kg of CO2 can be absorbed from the surrounding environment per 15-litre pot during a 30-day curing process .
On a recent project covering a printable area of 10,000 m ², where its paints were specified , Graphenstone ’ s technical team calculated a CO2 ( e ) saving of over 4.4 tonnes when using two coats of its flagship formulation , Ambient Pro +.
“ With sustainability and responsible sourcing becoming increasingly vital for architects and designers , those in procurement must work diligently to ensure that everyone in the supply chain adheres to the same original intent .”

Graphenstone ’ s CEO , Patrick Folkes , also emphasizes the importance for specifiers to protect their specifications . These specifications provide critical technical assurances regarding quality and standards , especially important when dealing with older or listed buildings .
Visitors to both upcoming trade shows can also experience Graphenstone ’ s revolutionary new ‘ Peel and Stick ’ colour samples for the first time . These 2D colour ‘ stickers ’ contain 30 % recycled materials , are 100 % recyclable , and use around 94 % less paint than typical sample pots .
Graphenstone ’ s complete range of paints and new Peel and Stick colour samples are now available through selected branches of Brewers Decorator Centres , including Abingdon , Barnstaple , Cambridge North , Cheltenham , Exeter , Leicester Freemans Common , Louth , Maidenhead , Putney , Trowbridge , Surbiton , and York .
In addition to its anti-bacterial and odour-absorbing qualities , the Graphene element enhances elasticity , reducing cracking and snagging , preventing mould and fungus , ensuring superior washability , and increasing coverage levels . This makes it an ideal choice for refurbishment and restoration projects .
