Careful preparation and limewash application for a soft, clouded finish.
Bauwerk limewash is absorbed into the surface rather than sitting on top of it, creating the cloudy, mottled finish that gives limewash its character. Using Bauwerk’s standard cloud technique, Bellefair applies the finish in layered strokes to achieve soft texture, natural movement and gentle tonal variation throughout the surface.

Soft tonal movement, a natural matte surface and gentle variation are what give limewash its character. It brings depth without gloss, softness without flatness, and a finish that sits naturally within both period and contemporary interiors.

Bauwerk describes its limewash as purely mineral-based and free from plastics, formaldehyde, biocides, PFAS, solvents and VOCs.
Bauwerk says its limewash absorbs CO₂ from the air as it dries and turns back to stone, much as a plant takes in carbon dioxide.
Bauwerk describes its limewash as naturally antibacterial, with a high pH and no biocides or preservatives.
Bauwerk gives its limewash an SD value of 0.011 to 0.013 and says it lets moisture escape freely, regulates humidity and resists mould.
Bauwerk states its limewash is fireproof and UV-stable, and is made using 100% green power.
For grand reception rooms, intimate bedrooms, and light-infused kitchens, offering textural depth.
Preservation-minded finishes that honour historic plasterwork, masonry, and period detail.
Limewash applied in the finishes and colours specified by architects and interior designers.
Distinctive limewashed interiors for restaurants, hotels, galleries, and retail spaces.
We assess substrate conditions, confirm whether Bauwerk’s Prep Coat is required, and provide sample panels for approval.
Walls are smoothed, primed, and stabilised for even absorption.
Two translucent coats are applied with Bauwerk brushes in multi-directional strokes, creating a cloudlike movement. A third coat may be applied for a more compact finish if desired.
Bauwerk limewash is built to age gracefully. Allow two weeks to cure, then maintain the finish with a light wipe using a clean, damp cloth—never scrub or use detergents. Over time, the finish develops a refined patina. For touch-ups, Bellefair applies a light “refresher coat,” seamlessly blending into the existing surface. Each additional layer only enriches the depth and longevity of the surface.
We believe a great finish begins long before the first stroke. Rooms and belongings are carefully protected, surfaces prepared, and finishes applied with care. Every project is discreet, well managed, and delivered with the professionalism our clients expect.
