The Application Process

Lime wash is applied by hand with large masonry brushes in a criss-cross or layered pattern, building up multiple thin coats for a soft, lived-in appearance. The material cures naturally through carbonation, where it reacts with CO₂ in the air to create a durable finish of calcium carbonate.

While lime wash weathers gently over time, giving it a classic, aged look, it can also be touched up or reapplied as needed, making it a flexible and forgiving design option.
