Lime Render Paints & Limewash

A white painted house with a red tiled roof under a partly cloudy blue sky, surrounded by a garden with bushes and a wooden fence.

Mineral paints and traditional limewash are ideal coatings for lime rendered buildings. These breathable finishes allow moisture within the wall structure to escape, helping protect the render while maintaining the character of older properties.

Before application, the render is assessed and prepared where necessary to ensure the surface is suitable for breathable coatings. Mineral paints, or limewash are then applied using methods appropriate for lime-based materials.

Unlike modern impermeable paints, these finishes work with the buildings natural movement and moisture balance. The result is a sympathetic coating that preserves the appearance and integrity of lime rendered properties.
