Limewash
Traditionally, the principal finish applied internally and externally to historic buildings. Although often thought of as a decorative coating, the limewash is first of all a protective layer to lime coatings or masonry backgrounds. On new lime renders and plasters, it unifies and protects the surface particularly while strength is developing within the new plaster.
As with all lime coatings, limewash is breathable, allowing evaporation of moisture and water vapour. It is also a repairing material, being used to fill small shrinkage cracks on the lime coverings.
Available as plain limewash (whitewash) or coloured using earth pigments producing natural pastel shades.
