CLAYPAINT TRANSFORMS LISTED PROPERTY
Paragon is a grand Grade 1 Listed Georgian Terrace designed by Thomas Attwood and built in 1768 . Situated in Bath city centre , it is surrounded by period architecture . Guinness World Record holder and Britain ’ s fastest snowboarder Jamie Barrow , decided to take on a slower challenge to fully renovate a two storey apartment in the terrace .
Jamie re-plastered the apartment in lime to ensure it remained breathable . He said : “ In the basement of a Grade 1 Listed building , there were obviously some damp issues . As we were not allowed to damp proof these buildings , we had to use breathable materials , which is why we used lime plaster on the walls .”
Jamie decided to use Earthborn Claypaint due to its high level of breathability , thick creamy consistency and ease of use . He added : “ We initially used a lime wash as this is what was suggested but after many coats it just wasn ’ t covering well . This is when I looked into what breathable paints are available and came across Earthborn Claypaint . I decided to give it a go and after just 1 coat it covered amazingly and gave a really nice luxury feel . That is why I am now using it on my other projects .”
