Yes, provided that the old paint coat is stable and not flaking, and is free of dirt, dust, grease and soluble salts. If there are different substrates in your wall ie. different materials – you may see a slight variation in the colour or ghosting. Gloss or semi-gloss walls should be sandpapered – interior walls then should be undercoated with BAUWERK Prep Coat.

Our paints are suitable for a high humidity environment. The paint is not film-forming and therefore not prone to blistering or peeling, even in high humidity environments such as bathrooms. Our paint is also naturally anti-bacterial and will resist mould. The paint can be used on all wall and ceiling areas, except for the inside area of a shower or the immediate area adjacent to a bath. We would also recommend that you use a splash back behind the sink and toilet areas, as lime paint is absorbent and can become stained by toothpaste.
BAUWERK Limewash Paint is not a water-proofing material, it is water resistant.
You can use our paint over conventional paints or new plasterboard, once the walls have been prepared to be equally absorbent (a water-based sealer, for instance). It is then followed with one coat of our Limewash Prep-Coat (which can be rolled on) and finished by two applications of BAUWERK Lime Paint.

In a kitchen, you can use BAUWERK Paint anywhere, except where it may come in contact with fat/oil/grease (behind the stove, for instance), as this may discolour the paint. For that reason, we do not recommend using it on the kitchen cabinets either. A sheet of glass behind the stove is a very unobtrusive way to protect that area and still allow in time for easy re-decoration. A sealer will always introduce more chemicals into the home, plus will require a lot more prep-work when the time comes to re-paint.
