Getting Started
Surface Preparation prior to Limewashing
To achieve your desired limewashed look, it is important to know that the success of your overall project may come down to the preparation of your wall surface.
Missing or rushing steps in the beginning won’t always save you time and money, and opting for cheaper tools and materials may cost more in the long run. You may also find the limewash harder to apply or experience issues such as ghosting or a patchy finish.
Whether your wall requires a primer, Bauwerk Prep Coat or simply a good clean will be determined by the make up of the wall surface you will be painting and if your wall is inside or on the exterior of a building.
Please see our Surface Guides for more detail on how to prepare your particular wall surface for lime washing.
