Limewash
Armourcoat Limewash – Natural Ecological Mineral Paint Finish
An elegant finish with cozy look by natural mineral paint
A naturally breathable, low-embodied carbon surface finish created for designers and architects, manufactured in the UK using locally sourced raw materials. Presenting a soft matt surface finish and lightly textured aesthetic, Armourcoat Limewash offers a range of natural hues across a carefully crafted palette, designed to support the creation of timeless, elegant interiors.
Armourcoat Limewash is made using slaked lime, Kaolin clay, water, mineral pigments, and natural plant additives, delivering a more durable and less-chalky surface finish compared to traditional lime wash formulations. Free from solvents and VOCs, the new range builds on Armourcoat’s 35+ years in developing luxury sustainable finishes – achieving Indoor Air Comfort Gold certification. Colours are achieved by adding natural, alkali-resistant mineral pigments dictated by what the earth has to offer, each with its own unique aesthetic. Once applied, the lime actively absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere whilst curing ensuring significantly lower global warming potential in comparison to other wall coatings. A naturally high alkalinity provides antimicrobial properties making it highly resistant to bacteria and mould – furthering the creation of healthy interiors. Armourcoat Limewash delivers an entirely non-combustible finish, achieving an A1 fire rating to meet regulations for buildings requiring the highest level of fire-resistance.
As an industry first, Armourcoat Limewash is set to be the only lime wash paint finish on the market to deliver both Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and Health Product Declaration (HPD) documentation – fully detailing the paint’s minimal environmental and health impact data and guaranteeing suitability for architectural projects targeting BREEAM or LEED certification.
