What is Lime Washing?

Lime washing brick is a time-honored technique that offers a distinct alternative to traditional painting. Unlike paint, which can obscure the natural texture and character of brick, lime washing enhances the brick’s inherent beauty while also providing a fresh, breathable finish.
The process involves applying a mixture of slaked lime, water, and pigments onto the brick’s surface. As the lime mixture penetrates the porous surface of the brick, it creates a soft, muted appearance that gracefully ages over time with a charming patina. Lime washing allows for a nuanced play of light and shadow on the brick, adding depth and dimension to the architecture. This method not only preserves the brick’s authenticity but also offers the flexibility to experiment with a range of hues, from subtle neutrals to bolder tones, all while maintaining the brick’s integrity and allowing it to breathe naturally.

Lime washing helps protect and preserve brick by creating a durable, breathable surface. It can seal and waterproof the brick while allowing moisture to escape.
Lime wash typically lasts 10-15 years on brick before needing touchup.
Lime washing is generally better for brick than painting. Painting can trap moisture and lead to deterioration, while lime washing allows the brick to breathe.

Lime washing brick typically costs $3-$5 per square foot.

When it comes to our lime washing application process, we follow a meticulous approach to ensure optimum results. First, we thoroughly clean the brick surface to remove any dirt or debris. Next, we prepare the lime mixture, carefully measuring the right proportions of slaked lime, water, and pigments. We then apply the mixture evenly onto the brick, using a brush, sprayer, and/or roller to achieve a consistent coverage. Once applied, the lime mixture slowly dries and absorbs into the brick, resulting in a beautiful, weathered finish that adds character to any architectural style. Finally, we inspect the lime-washed brick surface to ensure a flawless outcome, ready to be admired for years to come.
