Bauwerk Colour – champions of limewash paint – have reimagined this ancient material for the contemporary home, with an extensive palette of sophisticated shades created with natural earth pigments. Limewash has a distinctive textural effect due to the nature of lime and the brushed application process, giving variation and movement to the finished effect. The lime contains light-refracting calcite crystals which give the wall treatment a distinctive glow, and unlike most modern emulsion paints, are plastic and VOC-free, and also produced using 100% green energy. Limewash is a breathable material allowing moisture to evaporate rather than being sealed into walls which can lead to damp – the breathability makes it suitable for application onto heritage and contemporary materials and for both interior and exterior settings.
