Hi chaps,
The internal walls in the original part of our house were lime rendered in 2016/17 and on the suggestion of the supplier, Ty Mawr in Brecon, we gave them four to five coats of lime wash. We chose a subtle off-white/grey shade of lime wash, but it failed to fully cover the lime putty so the walls turned out flesh coloured.
The conservation and eco building suppliers I've contacted are either plugging their own products, or recommending Earthborn paints (market leader?).
Does anyone have experience of clay, chalk and lime-based paints; or eco, organic emulsions such as the Auro range? It must be fully breathable, compatible with lime render and preferably not too expensive.
Cheers,
Mark
