For centuries traditional cultures around the world have used the remarkable qualities of lime to build, beautify and protect homes. Lime wash paint is created from natural limestone drawn from ancient seabed deposits. The calcium-rich limestone is crushed and then fired for hours. Remarkably, the fired stone dissolves in water, producing a very smooth putty, called “slaked” lime that is aged and dried to a powder. Toned with natural pigments and applied to any surface, lime wash paint produces a beautifully textured plaster-like finish that lends protection, light and atmosphere to homes.

Limelite: Lime Paint for the Modern Era

Limelite’s unique formula elevates traditional lime wash to contemporary expectations. Its natural stabilizers prevent “chalk-off” as Limelite retains all the qualities – depth, texture and luminosity – of classic lime paint while insuring a stable, long-lasting and health-enhancing wall surface.

Free of VOCs, natural lime paint is healthy for nature and for people. Remarkably durable in all climates, including areas of high heat and humidity, Limelite’s pH is highly alkaline, making it naturally anti-mold and anti-algal. Its no-film, porous breathability minimizes moisture build-up inside walls, helping prevent mold in structural materials. With these prized practical attributes, and it’s natural beauty, this centuries-old natural classic paint is making a welcome comeback.
