Smokebush is a soft cool grey, with no warm undertone. It can appear greyer on the wall than on the Colour Card. It is a more opaque version of Ardoise. Darker are Hoar Frost and M oth. If you would like to place a custom order on Ardoise, or over 350 other greys and colours in Bauwerk’s Colour Lab, please contact us. Coverage & Specifications A quick guide to Bauwerk Limewash Paint here. Average coverage per coat, per litre applied: 6–10 m2 Recommendations for coverage are to be used as a guide only. As limewash paint is absorbed differently into different materials, how much paint you require varies depending on the material and condition of your surface. Variation in quantity needed will depend on the porosity of the surface to be painted. We always recommend the use of sample pots for an accurate colour representation for your particular surface and light conditions. Care & Maintenance If you are painting over sealed or previously painted walls, it is essential to know that limewash isn’t as indestructible as more conventional, non-natural paints. To improve durability and simplify application over sealed or previously painted interior walls, we highly recommend Bauwerk Prep Coat. Acting as an absorbent layer, Prep Coat facilitates limewash adhesion and can be applied easily by a roller. Like all surfaces subject to wear and tear, over time your limewashed walls may require maintenance. To maintain your walls, we recommend simply applying a light refresher coat of limewash. It is quick, easy and makes your walls more beautiful and durable with every layer. To clean limewashed walls, we recommend lightly wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure that you do not scrub, use excessive water or use any soaps on the limewash, as this will damage the surface. Do not clean your limewashed wall too soon after painting. Limewash becomes more durable after it has cured and hardened on the surface. Allow up to 2 weeks for your walls to properly cure. Images courtesy of: Bec Kirby, Design Tales, Hygge for Home Show more
