Which decorative finish is right for your room?

Why does Limewash Paint look cloudy?
Limewash is brushed on in loose, crossing strokes. As each coat dries, the lime lightens and settles unevenly, which gives soft variation in tone instead of one flat colour.
Why is Microcement good for bathrooms and wet rooms?
Microcement has no grout lines, so there is nowhere for soap scum and mould to collect. In showers it sits on a waterproofing membrane and is finished with several coats of a sealer rated for wet areas, which makes it easy to wipe clean.
What is the difference between real Venetian Plaster and faux finishes?
Real Venetian Plaster is made from slaked lime and marble dust. As it cures, the lime hardens back into a stone-like layer with depth and a cool, smooth feel. Faux finishes are paint or acrylic products that imitate the look but not the depth or the way it ages.
Is Limewash Paint safe for bedrooms and nurseries?
Yes. Limewash is made from lime, water and mineral pigments, with very low or zero VOCs and little smell once dry. It is also breathable and resists mould.
How thick is Microcement, and can it go over existing tiles?
A finished Microcement system is about 2 to 3 mm thick. It can go over sound, well-bonded tile, concrete, cement board and prepared drywall, so door clearances and floor heights barely change.
Can Venetian Plaster be used in humid rooms?
Yes, on walls away from direct water. Lime is alkaline, which resists mould, and a wax or traditional soap finish helps the surface shed splashes. It suits powder rooms, bathroom walls outside the shower and ceilings with good ventilation.
