At Decor Surface Finishes, we specialise in high-quality limewash applications, offering a timeless and eco-conscious alternative to modern paint. With its soft, matte texture and distinctive depth, limewash brings natural beauty and character to both interior and exterior surfaces.

Our skilled team has extensive experience in traditional limewashing techniques, ensuring every project is finished to the highest standard—whether it’s a historic restoration or a modern design with a classic touch.

What Is Limewash?

Limewash is a natural, breathable coating made from slaked lime, water, and mineral pigments. Unlike synthetic paints, it soaks into the surface rather than forming a film, allowing the substrate to breathe. This makes it especially suitable for:

  • Period and heritage buildings
  • Lime plaster and render
  • Brick, stone, and porous surfaces
  • Eco-conscious new builds

The result is a velvety, cloud-like finish with rich tonal variation that evolves beautifully over time.

Our Process

Every limewash project begins with careful surface preparation to ensure optimal adhesion and long-lasting results. We then apply the limewash using traditional techniques, building up thin coats to achieve a layered, nuanced finish.

Our team will work closely with you to understand your vision, advising on the best colours and finishes to suit your style, whether rustic, contemporary, or classic.

We exclusively use Bauwerk limewash products for our applications.
