In order to have a breathable structure, the outside of a building also needs to be painted with a breathable paint. Lime wash has been used for centuries and is a traditional and well used product. However, it is attacked by rain (slightly acidic) and so needs much more maintenance than other possible solutions.
Silicate paints are not only breathable, they are very long lasting. By using these paints you will be able to create a truly beautiful exterior that works with the building rather than against. The paint is available in white only, but you can use pigments to colour it. In conjunction with earthBorn, we are able to give you a best-match service.
