Promotion: surfaces brand Armourcoat has launched a range of textured and eco-friendly paints for interiors, designed to celebrate the distinctive look and feel of traditional limewash.

Named Limewash, the collection by Armourcoat is intended as a surface coating suited to both residential and commercial interiors.

It has a soft matt appearance in 45 shades of limewash – a mix of lime and water used for coating walls – but has a less chalky and more durable finish than traditional forms.

Armourcoat Limewash is composed of a mix of carbon dioxide-absorbing slaked lime, clay mineral kaolinite, water, mineral pigments and natural plant additives, ensuring it is free from solvents and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).

According to Armourcoat, this ensures the paint aligns it with "top-level environmental and health accreditation" in the architecture industry.

The brand claims it is the only paint of its kind with Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and Health Product Declaration (HPD) documentation, making it suited to projects striving to obtain the BREEAM and LEED sustainable building certifications.

"Here at Armourcoat we believe material transparency is fundamental to designing beautiful interiors that have minimal impact on our planet," said creative director Duncan MacKellar.

"Our goal as creative manufacturers is to reduce both embodied carbon and environmental toxins, and ultimately drive sustainable innovation within the built environment," added MacKellar.

"With our Environmental and Health Product Declarations, architects and designers can be confident that all Armourcoat finishes align with efforts to create environmentally conscious, healthy interiors."

Benefiting from the properties of limewash, Armourcoat's collection has a "naturally high alkalinity owing to its slaked lime", a critical ingredient which makes it resistant to bacteria and mould. It is also non-combustible.

Limewash is the latest addition to Armourcoat's collection of surface finishes developed by the brand to offer "sustainable luxury finishes" to architects and designers around the world.
