Lime Washing
Decorative Finishes
Lime washing is a natural mineral coating made using ancient techniques, with carefully selected slaked lime as its main base. Its coating features a unique microporous structure and a soft matte finish, with natural and warm colors, creating a mottled, vintage, breathable, and skin-friendly artistic effect. It boasts excellent environmental friendliness, breathability, and mildew resistance, making it suitable for interior spaces that pursue natural aesthetics and a healthy lifestyle.

Lime Washing Features
1. Natural and environmentally friendly, breathable and humidity-regulating: Made primarily with natural slaked lime, it has extremely low VOC content and no odor. The coating has a microporous structure that regulates air humidity, absorbs odors, and creates a healthy and comfortable living environment.
2. Unique texture, artistic expression: The paint film presents a soft matte texture and natural grain, with subtle and warm colors. Through different application techniques, a variety of artistic effects, from uniform to mottled, can be created.
3. Strong anti-mildew and durable: Lime itself is highly alkaline and has natural anti-mildew and antibacterial properties. The coating is strong, undergoes a carbonization reaction with the mineral substrate, and bonds firmly, remaining new for a long time.
4. High breathability protects the wall: The extremely high breathability allows moisture inside the wall to evaporate freely, preventing the coating from blistering and peeling due to moisture accumulation, effectively protecting the wall structure.
5. Stable color and fire-retardant: Mineral pigments offer stable color and are not easily faded by light. The main components are inorganic, providing excellent fire-retardant properties and enhancing spatial safety
Especially suitable for interior walls, ceilings, and other applications requiring high breathability, mildew resistance, and a natural artistic effect, such as residences, guesthouses, hotels, cafes, and art spaces. Suitable for mineral-based substrates such as cement mortar and putty.
Lime Washing Construction Guidelines
1. Substrate preparation: Confirm that the wall surface is a solid and clean base. Apply a coat of special sealing primer evenly with a roller to reinforce the substrate, reduce water absorption, and prepare for subsequent construction.
2. Roller-apply primer: After the sealing primer is completely dry, use a roller to evenly apply a coat of the matching sand-containing primer to increase the surface roughness and improve the adhesion and texture of the subsequent lime wash coating.
3. First coat of paint: Use a natural bristle brush to apply the first coat of lime wash paint evenly in a crisscross pattern to ensure full coverage and lay the foundation for unique texture and color.
4. Second coat of main paint: After the first coat is surface dry, apply the second coat of lime wash to increase the coating thickness and color saturation, and unify the overall color.
5. Topcoat application: After the lime wash coating has completely dried and cured, apply a coat of clear topcoat evenly with a roller to protect the coating, improve stain resistance, and unify the final gloss.
