Lime washing has an ancient history. It was traditionally used to protect building exteriors and to create brilliant white surfaces and the product itself was, unsurprisingly, made from lime.

Modern lime washing products however are designed very differently. You can be assured one application will last for a very long time.

Note, different timbers respond differently to lime wash; lighter woods like oak and ash area easier to treat while darker timbers or timbers with high oil and wax levels need to be treated differently.

Don’t worry, whatever your timber type; we will work with you to achieve your desired result.

Firstly we’ll prepare colour samples onsite to make sure you get the look you want.
The next step involves removing the strong natural colours of the timber. We use a bleaching product to achieve this. Bleaching ensures nice even tones across your timber flooring and is really the most effective way to remove colour.
Once the timber has been lightened, we’ll sand back the timber with a fine sanding grit and then apply the white liming floor finish. We use high quality products to ensure you get a result that lasts.
When the white liming floor finish has dried, we’ll apply a clear finish to complete the effect.
