Graphenstone Purifying Paint – My First-Hand Review 🎨
My first time using an eco-friendly paint, with the product purchased by my client, so I was interested to see how it compared with the professional brands I usually work with.
In terms of performance, I found the opacity to be mid-range compared with other professional paints. It covered grey emulsion walls in two coats, with a few touch-ups needed to finish.
I did find the paint required quite a bit of dilution to maintain a workable consistency and keep a wet edge, which made application a little more challenging and resulted in more splatter than I’d normally expect. I also found the odour more noticeable than I anticipated, despite the product’s low-odour claims.
That said, if choosing a paint with a lower environmental impact is a priority for you, Graphenstone is certainly worth considering.
My verdict: A good option for those prioritising sustainability, but from a decorator’s perspective, I found the application and coverage to be a little less straightforward than with some of the professional brands I regularly use.
As always, this is based on my own experience using the product on this particular job, and your results may vary depending on the surface and application method.
