PAINT SELECTION

My surface is in unmarked condition and has been prepped with BAUWERK Prep Coat

My surface is repaired or has a mixed of materials and has been primed with a water based dry wall primer, then prepped with BAUWERK Prep Coat.

If the wall is new or in unmarked (undamaged) condition all you need is to apply one coat of BAUWERK Prep Coat.
Repaired, patched up surfaces or mixed surfaces need application of 2 coats of a waterbased sealer/undercoat and one coat of BAUWERK Prep Coat.

Consumption of limewash paint is calculated for 2 coats of lime wash paint over BAUWERK Prep Coat. 

Painting a previously painted wall

I am painting over a previously painted wall

I am painting Gypsum Board or Gypsum Plaster surfaces primed with a water based dry wall primer, then prepped with BAUWERK Prep Coat.

New or repaired plasterboard / panel surfaces need to be prepared with the application of 2 coats of a waterbased sealer/undercoat and one coat of BAUWERK Prep Coat.

Consumption of limewash paint is calculated for 2 coats of lime wash paint over BAUWERK Prep Coat.

New or repaired plasterboard / panel surface

I am painting over unpainted cement or lime render.

I am painting new concrete or adobe blocks.

I am painting rammed earth or a similar material.

To test if your surface is absorbent simply brush on some water and observe how it is taken up by the surface. If it is beading off or runs down it is likely to be non-absorbent, if it is sucked up you have an absorbent surface.

Consumption of limewash paint is calculated for 2 coats of lime wash paint over new unpainted surface listed above. 

Painting A Breathable / Absorbent Surface

For maintenance and touch ups over existing Bauwerk paint.

If you apply the same or a darker colour usually one coat is enough. 
If a lighter colour is applied over a darker tone you may need to allow for additional application of lime paint.

Consumption of limewash paint is calculated for one maintenance coat of lime wash paint over existing Bauwerk Limewash Paint

Re-Painting Existing Bauwerk Paint

There are many possible surfaces that Limewash paint can be applied to.

Ideally the paint is applied onto a moderately absorbent and uniform surface.

Repaired surfaces or raw plasterboard surfaces need a water based undercoat/sealer to eliminate absorbency differences to avoid ''ghosting'' of repaired areas or panelling joints. That is followed by one coat of BAUWERK Prep Coat to complete the preparation before Limewashing your surface.

SURFACES

What surface are you painting on?

We assembled our most popular neutral colours in this 24 page Fan Deck, showing 4 colours on each page.



Fan Decks allow you to see a variety of colour shades together and provide a guide as to the general colour directions possible.

For a more accurate selection on a larger scale we recommend to use our Colour Cards, they are also hand painted with the actual paint and are in a size of 15cm x 10.5cm (A6-format).

How a particular colour shade appears on your walls depends on a number of factors:




We always recommend to make your final colour selection at the project site. We also provide 250ml Sample Pots for test panels.

Neutral colours are always in demand, picking the right one can be a challenge at times. Our Fan Deck provides a guide to the most popular colours in the neutral range.



Picking neutral colours

If you have identified the colours that you think might be suitable we would recommend to order Colour Cards. Colour Cards are available for every colour in our Colour Lab. 

Narrowing down your choice

Lime Wash Paint reacts very dynamically to changing light conditions. It is best practice to make the selection with colour cards pinned against the wall at the project address. The same colour might appear quite different if you only view it flat on your desk and under artificial light.

Viewing colours

Yes we do, please register / apply via our Bauwerk Trade Program, where you find more information and additional features.

I am an architect / designer, do you supply architects or designers with Fan decks and Colour Cards?

We do offer another Large Fan Deck that shows a representative cross section of our colours. All colours cannot be shown in a single fan deck, it would become too thick and unpractical to handle. 

However, we also offer our Master Set Colour Book, that contains every colour we offer.

Do you offer a general Fan deck with all the colours?

Yes, we do ship to most destinations world wide. Contact us if you cannot find the region we regularly ship to from the main menu.

Do You Ship Fan Decks To Other Countries As Well?
