What Is Porter’s Lime Wash?

Porter’s Paints Lime Wash is made using natural slaked lime and mineral pigments, offering a textured, breathable, and low-sheen finish. Unlike acrylic paints, lime wash doesn’t sit on the surface — it soaks into the wall, allowing it to breathe and move naturally with the environment.

This creates a matte, chalky texture with soft variation that subtly shifts depending on light and viewing angle. Each application is unique, giving your walls organic personality and handcrafted charm.

Our Lime Wash Painting Process

Applying lime wash is a hands-on, detailed process. Here’s how we do it:

1. Assessment & Colour Selection

We help you choose the right Porter’s Paints lime wash shade to match your home’s character, furnishings, and natural light.

2. Surface Preparation

We prep all surfaces carefully — sanding, repairing cracks, and ensuring the wall is porous enough for proper absorption.

3. Base Coat Application

A Porter’s-compatible base coat may be used to even out absorption and ensure the topcoat develops its characteristic softness.

4. Hand Application of Lime Wash

Our team applies the lime wash using traditional brush techniques, layering the product for movement, variation, and depth.

5. Final Finish & Clean-Up

We inspect the surface for consistency, touch up if needed, and leave your space spotless.
