The Background to Lime Earth Paints

Lime Earth Paint have been developed by Stuart Furby, a conservation expert, to offer all the benefits of traditional limewash but without compromising its conservation quality status.

This paint will give you the soft chalky bloom of lime in a format that you can use inside or out, on many different substrates, even over modern plastic based emulsion. Walls that need to breathe can also be painted in this paint as it allows moisture to pass through it.

Lime Earth Paint is pre-tinted for ease of application using mainly natural earth pigments giving subtle depth and character that only the combination of lime and earth pigments can give. We liken different paint finishes to the way different fabrics look and behave. The same colour used to dye silk for example will look completely different if used to dye linen. This is because each fabric deals with light in a different way.

So it is with paint, the crystalline structure of carbonised lime breaks up and diffuses light as it passes through it and bounces back. A modern paint reflects light more evenly and will not look as soft.
