Why lime

Lime lives with your wall — it breathes, regulates humidity and only grows more beautiful with time.

  • Mineral — slaked lime, water and pigments. No acrylics or plasticisers.
  • Breathes, regulates humidity and is naturally mould-resistant.
  • A deep, velvety matt with a play of light ordinary paint can't match.
  • Bonds chemically with the wall — it won't peel and ages gracefully.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Full FAQ — 40+ questions →
What is Limewash paint made of?

Slaked lime, water and mineral pigments. The formula is as simple as it gets: no synthetic binders, plasticisers or fillers. The coating bonds chemically with the wall, so the wall keeps its natural properties.

Is the paint safe for children and pets?

Yes. The formula is fully mineral and VOC (volatile organic compound) levels are minimal. It's safe to paint indoors without moving out or special ventilation.

How much does a Limewash wall cost?

It depends on your wall area: 1 litre covers about 15 m² per coat and we recommend two coats, so a 30 m² wall needs about 4 litres of paint and 2 litres of PrepCoat primer. The calculator above works it out for your wall.

What is PrepCoat primer and do I need it?

PrepCoat is a mineral primer developed by ZUBRA for Limewash. It evens out the wall's absorbency and improves adhesion — it's the only base on which we guarantee a predictable, even finish. Apply one coat before painting.

Can I use Limewash in a bathroom or kitchen?

Yes. In living rooms and bedrooms it needs no protection. In areas exposed to moisture or touch (bathrooms, kitchens, around door handles) we recommend a clear protective sealer from our range — we'll advise when you order.

Can I order my own colour?

Yes. We mix colours from the RAL and NCS palettes, match shades from photos or samples and adjust existing colours. Order “Custom colour” from the palette or message us on WhatsApp — the consultation is free.
