PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Farrow & Ball Limewash is a specialized, traditional coating engineered for historic, heritage, and period properties. Formulated using slaked lime and natural pigments, it bonds chemically with lime render, cob, and porous stone to create a breathable, weather-resistant finish. Its flat matt, semi-translucent appearance allows subtle tonal variations and natural aging, preserving the historic integrity of traditional structures while allowing walls to breathe and move naturally.
