Suitable for interior and selected exterior applications, PureLime offers a timeless finish for spaces that value natural materials and understated design.
THE BEAUTY OF NATURAL MATERIALS
More than color. A living surface.

Naturally breathable
Unlike conventional film-forming paints, PureLime creates a breathable mineral finish that allows moisture vapor to pass through the surface, helping walls manage humidity naturally.

Handmade depth and character
Applied in delicate layers, PureLime creates soft tonal variations and a natural, chalky texture that flat paint cannot replicate. Each surface develops its own subtle depth, revealing different shades and movement as the light changes throughout the day.
Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
Find answers to the most common questions about our limewash finish, application process, and performance in tropical conditions.
Can limewash be used outdoors as well as indoors?
Yes. ALTARIZE PureLime is suitable for both interior and exterior mineral surfaces, offering a naturally breathable finish with a soft, chalky appearance.
However, for exterior façades exposed to demanding weather conditions, we generally recommend ALTARIZE PureStone, which provides greater durability and superior UV and weather resistance.
Our team can help determine the most suitable finish based on your project's location, substrate, and level of exposure.
How is limewash different from regular paint?
Regular paint sits on top of the surface and can trap moisture underneath. Limewash bonds mineralogically with the wall and stays breathable, which helps prevent peeling and supports a healthier, drier surface over time.
Does Limewash require special maintenance?
Limewash develops a natural patina over time and can be refreshed or recoated when needed. Maintenance requirements depend on surface conditions and environmental exposure.
For areas that demand greater durability and weather resistance, ALTARIZE PureStone may be a more suitable alternative.
What color and texture options are available?
Limewash can be tinted with natural mineral pigments to achieve a range of soft, earthy tones, and the texture can be adjusted from smooth to more cloud-like depending on application technique and your design preference.
