Smokebush Limewash Paint | Grey Collection

Introduce a clean, architectural stillness to your space with Smokebush.

Smokebush is a soft, cool grey designed for those who desire a pure mineral aesthetic without any warm or yellow undertones. This shade is characterized by its crisp clarity and sophisticated presence on the wall. It is a light-responsive colour that frequently appears greyer once applied than it does on the Colour Card. Notably, Smokebush serves as a more opaque and substantial version of our more translucent Ardoise.

As a Bauwerk Colour Limewash, Smokebush is a mineral-based finish that bonds with your walls to create a living surface. It provides a breathable, matte texture with a subtle, suede-like movement, offering a visual depth and tactile soul that synthetic paints cannot replicate.

The Colour Profile

Smokebush is the ideal choice for a neutral palette that feels refreshing, clean, and structurally defined.

The Tone: A soft, cool grey with no warm undertones.
The Mood: Architectural, calm, and pure.
The Comparison: Smokebush offers a more opaque finish compared to the lighter Ardoise. If you are seeking versions with more depth and weight, Hoar Frost and Moth serve as darker counterparts within our grey range.

Why Choose Bauwerk Limewash?

Our paints are crafted with a commitment to both environmental purity and the longevity of your home. Choosing Smokebush means selecting a product that is:

Environmentally Friendly: Formulated using natural lime and earth-mined mineral pigments.
Breathable: Supports a healthy indoor climate by allowing moisture to move freely through the surface.
Naturally Antibacterial: The high pH of natural lime provides a built-in defense against mold and mildew.
Unique Finish: Each application results in a handcrafted look with natural tonal variations, ensuring your walls possess a unique character and movement.

Application & Coverage

To bring out the cool, architectural pigments of Smokebush, we recommend applying it with a Bauwerk Limewash Brush. Using a loose, multi-directional “cloud” technique allows the mineral layers to bloom, creating the soft, mottled finish characteristic of traditional limewash.

Tip: Limewash is intended for absorbent surfaces like brick, render, or surfaces prepared with a lime-compatible undercoat. Because Smokebush can intensify its grey tones 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.
