Graphenstone Paints has announced a new collaboration with Brewers Decorator Centres, which will see Brewers showcase Graphenstone’s standard range of 96 ‘House’ colours and The Treasured Collection – a range of 16 colours inspired by artefacts from the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.
As part of this partnership, Brewers will be the first of Graphenstone’s distributors to launch the company’s new peel-and-stick patches. The patches are made using 30% recycled materials and, by using tiny suction cups rather than adhesive on the backs, are also 100% recyclable.
Each patch features a unique QR code which, when scanned, provides a full-colour explanation, recommendations for finishes, and additional application advice. The new patches will retail at £1.50 each.
The new patches will make it easy for anyone to check what colour they want without having to buy expensive and messy sample pots. This initiative will vastly reduce the amount of paint and packaging that is wasted.
As part of its ongoing business strategy, Graphenstone has also pledged to plant a tree for every peel-and-stick paint patch sold in a separate partnership with Switch2Zero, a leading company in sustainable technology solutions.
This innovative new store concept offers a, convenient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective solution for paint sampling in line with Brewers own sustainability pledges to decarbonise, consume less and eliminate waste across their organisation.
Graphenstone founder Patrick Folkes said: “Innovation has always been at the heart of our company ethos, and these new 2D peel-and-stick swatches are nothing short of genius. Not only will it make life easy for anyone wishing to check what colour they want without having to buy lots of expensive and messy sample pots, but it will vastly reduce the amount of waste paint and packaging, and the stockist will save valuable storage space. It’s a win for the environment, a win for customers and a win for Brewers.”
Graphenstone’s ‘Purifying Paint’ ranges fuse traditional raw materials such as lime, calcium carbonates, and natural minerals 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 – the ultimate in material innovation. Its unique formulations actively help to ‘purify’ the air by absorbing CO2 as they cure, with the majority absorbed within the first 30 days following application.
