Paint / Wallpaper

Lime favours the use of high quality environmentally friendly / eco paints containing superior pigments and binders. These paints have a much greater depth of colour, more durability and are available in a range of different finishes. Lime has invested time in trials of these paints and have found the following manufacturers to be amongst the best and most frequently requested by our customers:

The Little Greene Paint Company
Farrow & Ball
Paint Library

Lime also uses and highly recommends:

Fired Earth
Sanderson
Zoffany
Harlequin
Laura Ashley
Mythic Paint
Earthbornpaints
Ecos Organic Paints

These products have a broad range of traditional and contemporary paint colours that co-ordinate and complement their elegant wallpapers, fabrics or furniture. They also contain naturally occuring pigments, minerals and resins and often use natural ingredients such as lime, chalk, putty, linseed oil and china clay. Many of these high quality wallpaper manufacturers use water based inks and the finest grade paper from FSC certified sustainable forests.

Bespoke Furniture / Kitchens

Lime prefers Little Greene, Farrow and Ball and Sikkens for its bespoke, hand painted furniture and kitchens. We also use Annie Sloan paint and wax for hand painted furniture particularly when a chalky, traditional or distressed finish is desired.

Woodcare

Lime recommends and uses sikkens and sadolin products for their outstanding woodcare range in stains, varnishes and interior and exterior wood finishes. Their advanced technologies have a proven history of wood protection, superior finishes and durability.

Preparation

Lime uses krud kutter as a multi purpose cleaner and is an important part of our surface preparation. It provides exceptional results when removing wax, grease, stains, caulk, wallpaper adhesive etc and is also safe to use and non-toxic.

At the customers request, Lime also uses household names such as Dulux, Glidden, Crown, Johnstones and Leyland.
