Tŷ-Mawr Limewash - Shelter Coat

Depending on the condition of the surface it may be wise to apply a Shelter Coat. A shelter coat will provide an excellent 'key' for the subsequent coats of limewash as often when limewashing over bare stone, especially if the stone is hard and non-porous, it can be difficult to get pure limewash to stick and/or remain on the surface.

Limewash is the traditional paint used to finish lime work both internally and externally. Ty-Mawr's high-quality limewash is the ideal paint to use on lime plaster/render or masonry/brick pointed with lime mortar as it is the most vapour permeable paint. This is an extremely cost-effective paint and has good coverage - 20 litres will cover 60-80sqm per coat.
