Finest Buxton Lime Wash

Finest Buxton Lime Wash is an extremely versatile and decorative finish and is one of the earliest forms
of paint that has been used for thousands of years. It gives maximum coverage and a brilliant rich finish.
Despite the advances within the paint industry and the vast array of paints available to today’s
consumers, there are still many occasions where limewash is the most appropriate and economic form of
decoration for older buildings. Limewash is calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) suspended in water and
proven to be the most permeable decorative finish, allowing the building to breath.
Suitable for lime plaster, lime render and brick.
After application, the water evaporates and atmospheric carbon dioxide combines with the lime
wash to form calcium carbonate, this process is known as carbonation. During the carbonation
process the limewash hardens, develops its colour and bonds to the substrate.
