Can I use a roller to apply Limewash?
No, a Bauwerk Limewash Brush is essential for applying limewash paint. Our brushes have been designed specifically to apply limewash correctly. The brush fibres are sourced for use with lime paint application. The unique bristle structure retains the correct amount of paint and releases it evenly across the surface during painting.
Our Limewash Block Brushes are perfect for application over all wall surfaces, rough or smooth. Our brushes are available in a variety of sizes depending on what you're painting.
- For interior and exterior walls, use our 4x14 cm Wood Brush
- For Sample Pots, Garden Pot Paint and small projects, use our 3 x 7 cm Block Brush with Red Body.
- Our Small Tapered Brush is great for cutting into tight corners, small detailed work and artist's murals.
