Graphenstone Paints , one of the most certified sustainable brands in the industry , is proud to announce that it is now the official paint supplier for GAIL ’ s Bakery .
Graphenstone ’ s ‘ Purifying Paints ’ are revolutionising the industry . Its low-odour , mineral-rich paints combine ancient , non-toxic ingredients such as artisanal lime and silicates with an innovative 21stcentury material called graphene .
Combining these natural and sustainable raw materials with the properties of graphene greatly enhances the mineral bases ’ performance , delivering a traditional mineral-based paint with Class 1 durability . This feature is essential for reducing refurbishment costs of spaces with higher-than-average footfall levels .
GAIL ’ s Bakery is well-known for its sustainable ethos , which runs through the heart of its brand , from the food it creates and serves , to the materials it uses in its chain of restaurants . The company has worked hard to source the best quality sustainable materials across all of GAIL ’ s real estate portfolio .
Most bakeries are located within neighbourhood settings focusing on local communities such as Henley , Radlett , Epping and Hawley Wharf . They are often located in older buildings , which require a sensitive approach to refurbishment .
So far , over twenty bakeries have been furnished using Graphenstone ’ s flagship formulations , Ambient Pro + and GraffClean ( Matt ), and Graphenstone ’ s founder , Patrick Folkes estimates that this has already resulted in a CO2 ( e )* saving of approximately 1 tonne when calculated across twenty bakery sites .
Patrick Folkes , Founder of Graphenstone UK says ,” I love that GAIL ’ s passion for creating good bread and delicious pastries follows through to their passion for minimising their carbon footprint . We have seen a real shift in the motivation for retailers and those in the hospitality sector specifying our air purifying paints in a wider industry move towards creating healthier indoor environments . The quality and ingredients of the paints we apply on walls are as important as the food and drinks we consume .”
GAIL ’ s Bakery , Head of Property Michelle Pollard- Smith , says , “ We feel that Graphenstone is a significant supplier for us , and we chose their paints due to their outstanding environmental credentials as it aligns with our drive towards achieving a lower carbon footprint right across our portfolio . In addition to the obvious CO2 and CO2 ( e ) savings , Graphenstone ’ s high-quality paints have a washability ‘ Wet Scrub Class 1 ’ rating . This means we can reduce repainting costs needed per store , which is a real cost-saving when multiplied across sites .”
