Details
Casein paint is a powder paint that is based on the milk protein casein and white lime. It has a soft, matt aesthetic and is highly breathable.
It has excellent adhesive qualities, and so is frequently added to limewash to improve its stability as well as being used on its own.
Suitable for interior use, it can be used on all plastered and painted surfaces. We often use it on wood (as the Shakers did), it slowly burnishes over time if left unfinished or a wall glaze can be applied to protect it.
It is supplied in powder form for mixing as required. You can create colours by adding our powder pigments.To see an example of this product in use, see our case study of Maesgwyn Cottage, Carmarthenshire.
