Little Greene Limewash
Select your colour
Little Greene Limewash is a traditional, highly breathable finish for lime plaster, lime render, cob and porous stone. It lets damp walls breathe and builds up in thin coats for a soft, characterful finish. Colours lighten noticeably as it dries, and it is available in pastel shades.
At Dawes on Goldhawk Road, Shepherd's Bush, we mix Little Greene Limewash to order in any Little Greene colour. Call us on 020 8748 6711 or pop in.
