The Porter’s Original Lime Wash Exterior is Australia’s most recognised traditional lime wash finish, formulated to impart a soft, weathered patina reminiscent of Mediterranean architecture. Made with slaked and aged lime and UV‑resistant colourants, this lime wash enhances masonry surfaces with layered hues that evolve over time. Unlike modern film‑forming paints, this breathable coating allows walls to “breathe,” reducing cracking, peeling and flaking while offering mild fungicidal properties.

Key Features & Benefits

• Authentic Traditional Finish – Produces a soft, aged patina like classic Tuscan and Portofino buildings.

• Non‑Film Forming & Breathable – Allows masonry to breathe and won’t crack or peel under normal conditions.

• Low Odour & Very Low VOC – Ideal for environmentally conscious projects with minimal fumes.

• Resists Mould & Airborne Pollutants – Naturally helps resist mould growth due to its high pH.

• UV‑Stable Colourants – Colours may vary over time and highlight architectural features for an authentic aesthetic.

• Gradual Weathering – Soft finish slowly wears over approximately 10–12 years, adding character to your exterior.

Ideal Applications

• Masonry‑suitable exterior surfaces including cement render, bagged brickwork, concrete and sandstone.

• Perfect for heritage homes, classic facades and architectural projects where texture and character matter.

Application & Coverage

Apply with a specialty lime wash brush to clean, absorbent surfaces for the best result. Coverage is approximately 8 m² per litre, depending on surface texture and porosity.
