High-grade lime Paint No. 344

AURO Profi-Kalkfarbe Nr. 344 is a traditional mineral paint based on slaked lime putty in professional quality. It is vapour-permeable, reduces the risk of mould and absorbs odours – the first choice for new builds as well as for the renovation of historic and listed buildings.

The paint adheres well to all mineral and lime paints, as well as to woodchip wallpaper, plasterboard or clay, and is suitable for both interior and exterior use (exterior in white only).

Anwendung & Verarbeitung

The paint can be thinned with up to 10 % water. Stir well and apply 1 to 3 coats with a roller or brush, allowing 24 hours between coats. On exterior substrates, a primer coat of AURO Deep Primer No. 301 can be applied first.

Tip: When wet, the lime paint appears transparent and only turns white once dry – don't worry if the first coat looks uneven. Particularly with coloured tinting, work with a wall brush using criss-cross strokes; when rolling, finish in one direction only.

Frequently asked questions

Why is lime paint recommended for listed buildings?

Lime paint has proven itself over centuries, is vapour-permeable and compatible in terms of building physics with historic mineral substrates – which is why it is the first choice for the renovation of historic and listed buildings.

Why does the first coat look transparent?

Lime paint appears transparent when wet and only turns white as it dries – this is normal and not a sign of poor opacity.

Is the professional lime paint also suitable for façades?

Yes, it is suitable for both interior and exterior use, although only in white for exterior applications.

Can I tint the lime paint with colour?

Indoors, yes, with AURO Kalk-Buntfarbe Nr. 350. The colour chart or fan deck shows 80 vibrant shades.

Is there anything I need to bear in mind during application?

Lime paint contains calcium hydroxide and irritates the skin and eyes – wear safety goggles and gloves. Particularly when tinting, apply with a paint brush in criss-cross strokes; when rolling, work in one direction only to avoid a patchy finish.

How long do I need to wait between coats?

Allow a recoating time of around 24 hours between the individual layers.
