Guide
How to use
Prime
On new walls or previously painted walls, apply the primer first.
Mix with water
Add water to the powder at the ratio given with the product and stir until smooth.
First coat
Brush it on broadly with a natural-bristle brush, changing direction as you go. The strokes become the texture.
Second coat
Once the first coat is dry, apply another. The colour lightens and gains depth as it dries.
Watch
From mixing to brushwork, see how it is done.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is Kalkpaint?
A powdered mineral paint made from lime, produced by Kalklitir in Belgium and also called lime wash or lime paint. It is mixed with water and brushed on for a matte, natural texture.
How is it different from ordinary emulsion paint?
It comes as a powder instead of a liquid, and because it is lime-based the wall stays breathable and regulates moisture. It is applied with a brush, so strokes and tonal variation remain visible.
How do I apply it?
Mix the powder with water and apply two coats with a natural-bristle brush. On new or previously painted walls, the primer is recommended first.
Where can I use it?
On interior walls such as living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms, and on exterior walls.
Where can I buy it?
In Korea, from the De Farang store on Naver SmartStore. For overseas shipping and volume orders, contact us.
