Finest Buxton Lime Wash

This pure Lime Wash gives maximum coverage, a brilliant rich finish and can hold mineral pigments extremely well. Lime wash is an extremely versatile and decorative finish that has been used on any building built before the 20th Century. Despite the advances within the paint industry and the vast array of paints available to today’s consumers, there are still many occasions where limewash is the most appropriate and economic form of decoration for older buildings. Limewash is calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) suspended in water and proven to be the most permeable decorative finish.

After application, the water evaporates and atmospheric carbon dioxide combines with the lime wash to form calcium carbonate, this process is known as carbonation. During the carbonation process the limewash hardens, develops its colour and bonds to the substrate.
