So, what exactly is Kalklitir?
Kalklitir, pronounced “kalk-lee-teer,” is a Belgium-based company specialising in limebased powder paint. Our founder discovered it online three years ago during the circuit breaker. She was looking for ideas to achieve a beautiful, textured wall and found all sorts of plaster and limewash products. The former was a little complicated to apply, but the latter was more straightforward, so she bought a couple of bags of Kalklitir limewash paint (also known as Kalkpaint) for her wall at home. Realising how easy it was to apply the paint and achieve the texture she’d been looking for, she decided to start retailing it at Aratamete to encourage homeowners to do more DIY projects in their homes.
What are some of the pros and cons of the Kalklitir limewash paint?
It's shipped in powder form, so it's lighter to transport than traditional paints. It doesn't contain VOCs or film-forming plastics that release harmful gases. The only thing that evaporates from the paint mixture is water! It's also extremely easy to apply, touch up and lend the walls a kind of depth that emulsion paint can't achieve. Perhaps the only drawback is that it's not suitable for outdoor and wet areas.
What tools do we need to apply the paint?
