Lime Paints

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

Kreidezeit lime based products are up-to-date to today‘s requirement of easy handling and can also be used on modern surfaces like dry walls, gypsum fibre boards, gypsum plaster and absorbent emulsion/dispersion wall paints. In our factory in Sehlem we manufacture a vast variety of lime based products for different surface designs including bright white marble lime, local hydraulic lime and a fine selection of marble and quartz sand.
Kreidezeit Lime Paints are versatile wall paints for interior and outside usage and are easy to use, even by non-professionals. They distinguish themselves due to enormous binding and adhesive capabilities, resulting in wipe-proof and splash-proof surfaces – without containing synthetic resin based binders and synthetic pigments like titanium white. Furthermore, only two applications cover sufficiently.

The marble sands in Lime Paint -textured- and Lime Paint -high texture- give smooth surfaces a fine plaster texture and keeps the look of existing fine-rough plasters, which would be gone by over-coating with smooth wall paints. It results in ideal sub-surfaces for vivid wall glazes and evens out slight structural differences from the underlying surface. Pores and fine cracks can be whitewashed.
