UPDATED Jan 2023: We have an amazing array of different natural paints and eco friendly finishes, so we thought a quick guide to the more popular options and bestselling natural paints would be helpful. We have many other products too! If you have any questions please just get in contact! 

Which paint do I need?

Fundamentally there are 2 brands of natural paint that we offer, Graphenstone Natural Paints, and Auro Natural Paints. Both are amazing quality, Graphenstone has added Graphene for strength, and Auro is naturally an amazing option also. I have both in my house!

NATURAL WOOD PAINT & MULTI SURFACE PAINT

Please note: Grafclean Premium Eggshell Multi Purpose is an Interior and Exterior grade multi use Mineral paint that can be used on a range of surfaces. Although it can be used on primed wooden, metal, tiled and a range of surfaces – it is fundamentally a semi matt paint and a mineral paint,  it will have certain limitations on exterior wood mainly from things like dirt pick up and fade as compared to a gloss that would reflect away UV and pick up less dirt.

Available in an amazing range of colours in a soft creamy finish, Graphenstone GrafClean wood paint are in the top seller here for good reason.
