The natural effect of lime paint.

The natural effect of lime paint.

Lime paint is in perfect keeping with the contemporary trend towards more authenticity, attention to environmental issues and minimun impact on the environment. The vapor permeable and breathable nature are characteristic of these paints.

Lime paint is offered in powder form, along with a comprehensive range of pigments. The powder should be created for processing with pigment and water. Depending on the technique that you will perform, an amount of water is added. Using a lot of water creates a distemper paint which can be processed with the brush block. Adding little water gives a spatula stucco and tadelakt mass.

The colors are vibrant, have a natural look and give a soft finish. By the mixing of pigments you will be able to create a custom color. These effects are not achievable with masonry paints based on synthetic raw materials. The effects are caused by difference in the suction surface, the iron block with the brush or spatula and the method of mixing pigments. A wall decorated with lime paint will absorb moisture and then give up. A wall that has absorbed moisture is darker than a dry wall.
