Graphenstone - Let’s turn it around!
Graphenstone's sustainable paints are being widely used, from global brands like Facebook (applying our healthy paints in their new London HQ) to professional upcyclers like Tess Doyle (article and beautiful photo below), producing unique pieces of art by restoring lovely old pieces of furniture.
Perhaps the silver lining from this pandemic will prove to be a revitalised motivation to 'Turn It Around'. Reduce pollution and VOC's and improve air quality, a sea-change to a more sustainable world. From the biggest multi-nationals, to the individual sole trader.
According to the World Wildlife Fund for Nature, every human on Earth is digesting the equivalent (on average) of a credit card's worth of plastic each week from different sources; that's 21 grammes a month. Plastic in the paints industry has been dominant for decades. Acrylics have ruled. Graphenstone are leading the way in changing the industry. With graphene technology, we offer ecological and mineral based paints that are not only VOC free but capable of actually purifying your air (by absorbing CO2 and other pollutants), with Class 1 strength; so it's durable and tough too.
From private houses in London, to large new developments in Liverpool, customers are choosing Graphenstone's ecological and sustainable products. Let's now 'Turn It Around', to the benefit of us all and our planet.
Graphenstone - Tessa Doyle, Furniture Upcycling at Lollipop Interiors
Tessa Doyle, Furniture Upcycling at Lollipop Interiors
Tessa Doyle bought the first pieces of furniture locally in London in 2013, selling some of her first revitalised artworks to a restaurant in Brixton.
Now her horizons have expanded to the most beautiful pieces from France and Belgium. Coronation Street has examples on their TV production sets.
Tess recently trialed Graphenstone paints. Her company, Lollipop Interiors, is an Associate of the House of Upcycling and an ambassador of its industry partnership with British Institute of Interior Designers.
Here's her full independent report on the test results:
The packaging is cardboard and therefore widely recycled
The containers are recyclable, the tin can be washed and put into the recycle bin
The information on the tin is sufficient for use and includes drying and re-coat times
The paint colour wasn't exactly the same as the sample shown on the website, I would therefore recommend ordering a colour chart and/or tester pots to get an exact match
The paint is very easy to use, application is smooth, a good consistency, not too thick and doesn't drag
The paint had no discernible odour
Total coverage was achieved after just one coat of the paint; I had applied 2 coats of the primer which also covered extremely well (not many primers I have used cover as well)
Drying time was quicker than stated on the tin, it was touch dry within 15-20 minutes. I followed the instructions before re-coating but I could have re-coated sooner.
The finish is great, flat and matt even on the piece of bumpy wood it was tested on. I didn't use expensive brushes as I wasn't sure how the paint would wash off but even with cheaper synthetic brushes, the finish was very good
A novice painter would find this paint easy to use; you can achieve a good finish with minimal effort - brushes don't require overloading, a little of the paint goes a long way.
Prices are in line with most furniture paints currently on the market
I would be very interested in using this paint on more projects
Thank you Tess, we look forward to many years of collaboration.
