Lime Paints

Lime paints are highly vapour-permeable. Consequently, particularly when used in combination with moisture-regulating plasters, such as lime and clay plasters, they help to create a pleasant and balanced indoor climate.

Advantages of natural lime paints

For over 14,000 years, lime has proven its worth as a building material and coating. It is available in virtually unlimited quantities worldwide and is environmentally friendly, as no problematic waste is produced either during its manufacture (lime burning) or at the end of its useful life, and it releases no emissions when it carbonates as a mineral binder. Lime has a high light-reflecting capacity; its fine crystalline structure creates the distinctive lime lustre effect.

Thanks to these properties, as well as the guaranteed full declaration of all ingredients, our lime paints and plasters are also ideally suited for people with allergies.

KREIDEZEIT lime paints are easy to apply

KREIDEZEIT Lime Paints meet today’s requirements for ease of application and can also be used on modern substrates such as plasterboard, gypsum fibreboard, gypsum plaster and absorbent emulsion paints. At our factory in Sehlem, we manufacture a wide range of lime products with a variety of surface finishes using bright white marble lime, locally sourced hydraulic limes and selected marble and quartz sands.

Kreidezeit Lime Paints are versatile wall paints for both interior and exterior use, very easy to apply, even by amateurs. They are characterised by excellent binding and adhesive properties, producing surfaces that are resistant to wiping and splashing water – without the addition of synthetic resin binders or synthetic white pigments such as titanium white. Furthermore, these paints provide full coverage in just two coats.

The marble sands contained in our Lime Paint -textured- and our Lime Paint -high texture- give smooth substrates a fine plaster texture. They produce the appearance of finely roughened plaster, which would disappear if painted over with smooth wall paints. They create ideal substrates for expressive wall glazes and even out slight differences in the substrate’s texture. Pores and minor cracks can be filled with a slurry.
