Chalk Limewash Paint | Neutral Colour Card Set
Discover the enduring appeal of our most sought-after white for a crisp, timeless finish.
Chalk is our most popular white limewash paint, celebrated for its ability to create a clean and bright atmosphere without feeling clinical. It is a perfect soft, chalky white that offers a pure mineral aesthetic. It is important to note that Chalk typically looks whiter once applied to the wall than it does on the Colour Card, as it contains no yellow undertone. This clarity makes it an exceptional choice for those seeking a true, versatile white that remains bright in any light.
As a Bauwerk Colour Limewash, Chalk is a mineral-based finish that bonds with your walls. It provides a breathable, matte texture with a subtle movement that adds a tactile, artisanal quality to both modern and traditional interiors.

Why Choose Bauwerk Limewash?
Our paints are meticulously crafted to support the health of your home and the natural beauty of your walls. Choosing Chalk means selecting a product that is:
-
Environmentally Friendly: Produced using natural lime and earth-mined 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 handcrafted “cloud” effect with natural tonal variations, ensuring your walls possess a depth that synthetic paints cannot replicate.
Application & Coverage
To achieve the best results with our most popular white, we recommend applying Chalk with a Bauwerk Limewash Brush. Using a loose, multi-directional “cloud” technique allows the mineral layers to bloom, highlighting the soft, matte finish characteristic of traditional limewash.
Tip: Limewash is intended for absorbent surfaces like brick, render, or surfaces prepared with a specialized lime-prep undercoat. Because Chalk appears whiter on the wall than on the card, we always recommend a patch test to see how the light in your specific space interacts with its pure pigments.

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.
