Limewash
Limewash is a traditional, breathable paint made from crushed limestone that has been mixed with water. It is known for its natural, matte finish and soft, chalky appearance. Over time, limewash weathers beautifully, creating a patina that adds depth and character to surfaces.

Limewash vs Paint
Unlike traditional latex or acrylic paints that sit on the surface, limewash penetrates porous materials, creating a long-lasting bond. It also does not peel or chip in the same way that regular paint does.
