Discover Fenwick & Tilbrook Claypaint: Breathable Clay Paint For Lime Plaster
Fenwick & Tilbrook Claypaint is expertly crafted for lime plaster, offering a unique combination of breathability and durability. Unlike traditional breathable paints like soft distemper, Claypaint provides a robust, flat matt finish that allows moisture within the wall to escape without compromising the surface.
Why Choose Claypaint?
Highly Breathable: With an SD value of 0.02, it ensures moisture escapes, preserving wall integrity.
Exceptional Durability: Its ultra-matt finish resists wear and maintains its appearance over time.
Rich Coverage: Offers coverage of 10–12 m² per litre, reducing the number of coats needed.
Low VOC, Sustainably Sourced: Claypaint is a water-based, low-VOC product that is virtually odourless (TRACE level, the lowest claimable level of VOC). It comprises over 60% sustainably sourced solids, with nearly all of these materials originating from the UK
Made to Order: Each batch is mixed to order, ensuring freshness and consistency.
Wide Colour Range: Available in over 200 colours, with a bespoke colour service for unique shades.

Application Tips
Preparation: Lightly dampen the wall before application.
First Coat: For new lime plaster, apply an initial coat thinned with 10% water.
Subsequent Coats: Apply undiluted coats, allowing each to dry before the next.
Technique: Maintain a wet edge and work on one wall at a time. Don’t worry if the wall looks patchy at first – this is normal for claypaint. Wait a few hours and you will notice that the colour evens out as it dries (dark colours take much longer to settle to their final colour).
Drying Time: Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next, (waiting until the colour has settled before applying subsequent coats).
