Lime Wash

The Sophisticated Choice
for Classic Interiors

Lime wash delivers a natural, semi-transparent finish that subtly reveals the texture of plaster, brick, or reclaimed wood. With the right preparation you can also decorate with limewash paint on walls that are already painted or are made of Gib, drywall, plasterboard or plaster.

Its breathable, Ultra Low VOCs composition keeps walls healthy while the mineral-based pigments — stone-gray, warm ochre, muted sage, deep indigo — create an organic palette that ages gracefully, developing a soft patina over time.

A timeless, handcrafted look that adds depth, warmth, and a sense of living history to any space.

Because the coating is both eco-friendly and durable, it fits effortlessly into high-end design styles — from modern rustic and Mediterranean-inspired homes to Scandinavian minimalism and industrial chic.

Silicate Paint

A Versatile,
Mineral-Based Finish

Silicate paint (also called mineral paint) is a water-based coating in which the binder is potassium silicate. When applied, it chemically bonds with mineral substrates — forming a durable, breathable layer that grows with the surface rather than sitting on top.

Silicate paint dries to a true matte, velvety surface that echoes natural stone or aged plaster. Its semi-transparent mineral pigments let the underlying texture peek through, creating subtle depth and a tactile quality.
