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.
** Plant a Tree with Every Swatch ** For every £ 1.50 colour sample sold, Graphenstone will plant a tree in collaboration with Switch2Zero.
Visit Graphenstone at Stand 241 from 4-6 February at the Business Design Centre in London and at Future Build on Stand G20a from 4-6 March at Excel, London.
