Warning Signs
When Limewash Application Makes Sense
Brick damage doesn't fix itself. Spot these warning signs early to avoid expensive repairs later.
Paint Trapping Moisture Behind Masonry
Paint Trapping Moisture Behind Masonry
Conventional paints seal masonry surfaces and trap moisture behind them. Trapped moisture causes spalling, efflorescence, and accelerated brick deterioration from freeze-thaw damage.
Previous Paint Peeling or Blistering
Previous Paint Peeling or Blistering
Paint on masonry peels, blisters, and cracks when moisture pushes through. Limewash allows moisture to evaporate naturally and ages gracefully without peeling.
Heritage Building Requirements
Heritage Building Requirements
Historic buildings were designed for breathable finishes. Paint violates conservation principles and triggers compliance issues with heritage authorities.

Traditional finish
Breathable protection with character
Limewash is a traditional coating made from slaked lime and water—applied to masonry surfaces to provide breathable protection while creating a distinctive soft, matte appearance.
Unlike paint, limewash becomes part of the masonry through carbonation. It allows moisture to pass through while protecting the surface. The result is a finish that ages beautifully, self-heals minor cracks, and lasts for decades with minimal maintenance.
What Limewash Application Includes:
Breathable—allows moisture movement
Self-healing—minor cracks seal naturally
Ages gracefully with patina character
