Earthborn’s historic paint colours
Earthborn is well known for its high performing,
eco friendly paints that are healthier to live with and
better for the planet. But it doesn’t stop there.
No.38 The Park is a boutique Georgian townhouse hotel
featuring a palette of warm Earthborn greens.
With a host of unique qualities, Earthborn is the
perfect choice for listed buildings and period
homes. From historic medieval churches to
sprawling Georgian mansions, compact Victorian
terraces to mid-century bungalows, Earthborn’s
paints are regularly specified by homeowners and
professionals alike for a variety of heritage projects.
Claypaint is available in a palette of 72 signature
shades, including several based on historic paint
colours.
Of course, every period building has its own unique
characteristics and considerations, not least when
it comes to decorating. So Earthborn has combined
its own paint knowledge and colour know-how with
the expertise of Lincoln Conservation, to produce a
guide on how to choose paint for older properties
and create historic paint colour palettes that remain
suitable for modern living.
Lincoln Conservation specialises in the conservation
and restoration of interior and exterior features in
listed and historic buildings, historic artefacts and
historic paint analysis. Certain paint pigments have
fascinating stories to tell; from the highly prized
yet poisonous Arsenic Green to the fly repellent
properties of Slaughterhouse Blue.
The experts at Lincoln Conservation helped
Earthborn to delve a little deeper into some of the
most historically important shades and together,
they have created colour palettes suitable for a range
of architectural styles and eras.
The “Earthborn Guide to Historic Paint Colours”, identifying design themes and colour
recommendations for Georgian, Victorian and 20th century property styles is available on

AeroTherm
AeroTherm is a revolutionary, 1.0
mm thick, insulation plaster that
reflects the heat from any radiated
thermal source back on itself, at the
speed of light!
AeroTherm saves as much as 35%
of heating energy, being of particular
interest for treating solid wall or
hard to insulate buildings, without
changes to the buildings’ external
appearance, or loss of internal room
space.
Manufactured from 3M, glass micro-
spheres and Aerogel, AeroTherm
exceeds energy savings of older
insulation methods, producing a
more comfortable living space
and more uniform floor to ceiling
heat distribution, achieved at lower
heating thermostat settings.
Applied using conventional
plastering techniques, AeroTherm
can be painted or papered over, for a
final finish.
AeroTherm creates warm walls,
eliminating conditions where
condensation and subsequent
mould growth occurs.
Independently tested and certified,
AeroTherm has a minimum life
expectancy in excess of 25 years.
