A traditional application of lime wash
We apply two coats of lime wash in a solid coating on your brick, stone or other masonry surface. The lime wash acts as a sacrificial coating, protecting the masonry beneath and creating beautiful wear and patina over time. For a more durable finish we start with a coat of Primer and then top coat with two coats of Classico. An opaque lime wash has a lot more depth and character than simply painting your brick and is a beautiful finish for brick and stone.

What is Lime Wash?
- Lime wash dates back to Rome and has been used for centuries to beautify and protect stone, brick, wood and even furniture.Lime wash or “white wash” is the original house paint. A biological product that is created by crushing the limestone to a powder, burning it and adding water to make a lime putty. Once it has been aged and thinned it can be colored with natural pigments creating a depth and weathered patina reminiscent of a Mediterranean old world finish.
- Limewash is like paint?
In a sense lime wash is the original paint, nearly 2000 years old, but lime wash is nothing like today’s modern acrylic paints. Lime wash has a matte finish and a depth and beauty that modern paints lack. Instead of adhering to the surface, lime wash embeds within the pores of masonry and calcifies to the substrate. Originally used to protect clay and masonry surfaces, today lime wash is just as often used as a way to beautify buildings.
- Does Limewash have an odor?
Lime wash is completely VOC free, contains no solvents, is odorless and emits no toxins unlike today’s acrylic and petroleum based paints.
