Lime paint is one of the oldest paints in the world, used since ancient times for its exceptional properties. Made from lime, it has been used to coat and protect the walls of historic houses and buildings. One of its distinctive qualities is that it is a breathable paint , meaning that it allows walls to absorb and release moisture naturally. This ability prevents moisture from trapping in the walls, reducing the risk of mold or decay. Unlike synthetic paints, it creates a lively visual effect, bringing an unmatched charm and authenticity to any space. It is a perfect choice for customers who want an interior that is beautiful, durable and healthy.

Lime paint is ideal for decorative walls and ceilings . In wet rooms such as bathrooms, it can also be applied to walls and ceilings with the addition of a varnish or protector. However, it is not recommended for showers or floors, as it is not a durable final coating for these surfaces.

For specific projects such as fireplace mantels, we recommend lime plaster instead. Unlike paint, plaster is more like tiles in terms of finish and durability, offering a noble and resistant finish, perfect for fireplaces.

Lime paint is 100% formulated with natural ingredients, and therefore 100% biodegradable.

When applied, it absorbs CO2 from the space, and therefore purifies the air.

It is not only breathable, but also VOC free.

This means that it respects the health of occupants and the environment, while offering a textured and lively rendering that brings warmth to a space. It is an ideal choice for customers looking to combine aesthetics and ecological responsibility.

Nowadays, there are petrochemical products that try to imitate the effects of lime paint, but they do not have the same rendering. The difference is immediately visible: synthetic paints, even when textured, lack depth and life. Their visual appearance remains fixed, almost artificial, because they do not have the mineral richness that lime has.

For those who seek excellence and want the best, nothing replaces the authenticity of real lime. Opt for authentic products, which bring a natural and unique charm to each space.

When it comes to color, lime paint offers a nuanced and textured effect, but there are some specifics to keep in mind:

• For very pale tones , the effect is subtle, almost imperceptible, providing a discreet softness.

• Very dark shades , on the other hand, are not recommended. They require a lot of pigment to achieve the desired shade, making the rendering unstable and the texture effects too visible, which can create a messy appearance.

This is why we encourage projects with colors in the medium hue range.

For a perfect balance, opt for medium shades , which offer an elegant and soft textured effect on the eye, without excess.

Lime paint fits perfectly into various design styles, whether Scandinavian, Mediterranean, contemporary, and many others. However, each type of property has its own limitations and needs, especially when it comes to details like moldings – sometimes they can be painted, sometimes not, depending on the desired effect.

There are also different techniques for applying lime paint, some more artistic than others, and which can be recommended depending on the style of the space.

We are often asked if lime painting is a project that can be done by yourself. Yes, it is possible, but applying lime paint is a technique that requires mastery to obtain a beautiful result. This is why we offer accessible DIY training courses, designed to guide you step by step and avoid common mistakes. The training can be taken via our website and then people have access to paint purchases.

• Time required : For example, for a 15 by 9 foot wall, you should allow approximately 8.5 hours for application alone, at a rate of 16 square feet per hour. Add to this the training time and practical tests to master the technique, because without experience, the work may have to be redone to obtain the desired result.

• Preparation and logistics : You also have to take into account everything surrounding the project: moving furniture, protecting surfaces with tarps, preparing the wall, and gathering all the necessary equipment.

• Our application service advantage : Our team arrives on site fully prepared, with the experience and tools required for an impeccable result, without you having to worry about logistics.

With our Lime Paint Training Color Formulation module, you will be able to create the color recipe that suits you.

We also offer custom colors for clients who use our services. A color consultation, at a cost of $250, is required to create a unique shade. To simplify the process, it is ideal for the client to provide a Benjamin Moore or Sico color code for an accurate color match.
