A GUIDE TO SILICATE MASONRY PAINT
What is silicate masonry
paint ? In a nutshell , it ’ s a highly
breathable masonry paint
suitable for lime , concrete , brick ,
stone , concrete and pebble
dash . Used on unpainted
masonry surfaces it provides a
durable , long-lasting finish .
Conventional acrylic based
paints may stop rain driving
into a wall but they also create
a barrier that stops moisture
escaping . It ’ s widely recognised
that unless a wall can breathe
through the paint there will be
a build up of moisture within
the wall , causing blown paint
and plaster or render .
Can you use silicate masonry
paint on lime wash ? You can
use our Silicate Masonry
System over existing lime
wash provided it is completely
sound and stable .

The external walls of this late medieval hall house have been painted with Earthborn Silicate Masonry Paint in Sandstone to provide a long lasting alternative to limewash .
How does it work ? Our
system works by applying
primer then paint to a bare
masonry surface . The two
products create a chemical
reaction with the masonry
and essentially ‘ knit ’ into the
surface , creating a strong bond .
We ’ ve recently doubled the
colour range to 48 shades , to get
hold of a free colour card and
to order sample pots , head to
our online shop . If you already
know which shade you want , full
size tubs and primer can now be
ordered directly too .
