What is limewash? What is limewash used for?

  • Limewash was traditionally used as a paint for lime plasters and lime renders.  It is used internally and externally and is suitable for application onto bare mineral surfaces such as brick or lime plaster/render.
  • Limewash works by soaking into the substrate, therefore will not adhere well to previously painted surfaces.
  • Our pure white limewash is made on site using our slaked lime putty, which has been matured for at least three months.
  • Delivered in 10 litre tubs nationwide, singularly or on a pallet. 

How do I apply limewash? How many coats of limewash do I need?

  • Limewash is much thinner than modern paints, as such a new lime plaster render will require at least four coats.
  • 1 ltr of limewash will cover approximately 3-6sqm, a 10 litre tub will cover approximately 50sqm with one coat.
  • Use as it is, or mix with our PIGMENTS to achieve a range of colours.
  • The addition of 1% RAW LINSEED OIL into the final coat externally will give the limewash additional watershedding properties. ie. 100ml per 10 litres.
  • It is important to keep the surface damp while applying limewash. SPRAYERS are available to buy here.
  • Apply with one of our FLAT LIMEWASH BRUSHES.
