Description

Sandstone Limewash Paint | Travels through Arabia Collection

Capture the timeless, sun-bleached beauty of the desert with Sandstone.

Sandstone is an impeccable, warm, modern neutral designed to bring a soft, organic glow to your home. Part of our Travels through Arabia Collection, this colour is inspired by the shifting sands and ancient stone architectures of desert landscapes. It strikes a sophisticated balance, providing essential warmth without leaning too heavily into yellow undertones. Because it is a rich, mineral-based pigment, the warm tones in Sandstone can sometimes develop a delicate peachy quality on the wall, adding an unexpected layer of depth and interest.

As a Bauwerk Colour Limewash, Sandstone is more than just a pigment; it is a mineral finish that bonds with your surface. It offers a breathable, matte texture with a soft, suede-like movement that captures the light, ensuring your walls feel tactile and grounded.

The Colour Profile

Sandstone is a versatile foundation for modern organic interiors, pairing beautifully with natural linen, reclaimed timber, and stone.

The Tone: A warm, modern neutral with balanced earthy undertones. The Mood: Timeless, radiant, and serene. The Comparison: If you require a subtler, airier version of this hue, Cassava is a beautiful lighter alternative. For those seeking more depth, Chickpea serves as a darker version, while Thatch offers an even deeper, more saturated tone within the same family.

Why Choose Bauwerk Limewash?

Our paints are crafted with a focus on environmental health and the natural beauty of lime. By choosing Sandstone, you are selecting a product that is:

Environmentally Friendly: Made from natural lime and high-quality mineral pigments.
Breathable: Allows moisture to move freely through the surface, promoting a healthy indoor climate.
Naturally Antibacterial: The high pH of natural lime provides a built-in defense against mold and mildew.
Unique Finish: Applied in thin layers, it creates a subtle “cloud” effect with natural tonal variations, ensuring your walls have a handcrafted character.

Application & Coverage

To bring out the soft, desert-inspired movement of Sandstone, we recommend applying it with a Bauwerk Limewash Brush. Using a loose, multi-directional “cloud” technique allows the mineral pigments to layer naturally, highlighting the subtle tonal shifts characteristic of traditional limewash.

Tip: Limewash is intended for absorbent surfaces like brick, render, or surfaces prepared with a specialized lime-prep undercoat. Because the warm tones in Sandstone can lean peachy depending on the light, we always recommend a patch test to see how the colour settles in your specific environment.

Benefits

The benefits of a paint made exclusively from minerals + natural pigments

BAUWERK Colour Lime Wash Paints are purely mineral based. They are manufactured from calcium carbonate, the same material sea shells are made from. When you paint with it the only chemical reaction that takes place is the absorption of atmospheric CO2 to convert the lime paint back to lime stone.

We colour our Limewash with natural pigments, this makes our colours completely different, as when light hits the wall the colours look like no other.

You can safely paint your home without any fear of breathing in fumes that are harmful to you or your children. We make the paint without solvents or volatile organic compounds (VOC). Because of that, Bauwerk Lime Paint is fire proof.

The paint can be used inside or outside, even in high humidity environments, such as bathrooms. It is not film-forming, like a plastic paint; it allows walls to breathe and be part of your micro-climate inside your home.

We don't use biocides or other preservatives; our lime wash has natural anti-bacterial properties. Enjoy the emotional depth and the play of light on our colours—they react dynamically to changing light conditions.
