Description

At Earthborn, we’re known for our high performance, breathable paints. Paint that is better for you, your home and the planet.

With their unique breathable properties and exceptional performance, our paints are an ideal choice for listed buildings, period homes and heritage restoration projects.

From Georgian townhouses to rural cottages, many historic buildings were constructed long before modern building methods existed. Built using natural materials such as lime plaster, stone and solid brick, they were designed to breathe by allowing moisture to move freely through their walls.

Using impermeable modern coatings can trap this moisture, leading to damp, peeling paint and damage over time. Our interior and exterior breathable paints help maintain this natural balance, allowing moisture to escape, making them an essential choice for the long-term care of traditional buildings. Claypaint, with its ultra flat matt finish, is perfect for interior walls and ceilings- enhancing features while providing exceptional breathability. For exteriors, our durable Silicate Masonry Paint offers long lasting, weather resistant protection, making it ideal for historic building and lime based surfaces.

Both paints have outstanding breathability, with Claypaint having a Steam diffusion (Sd) value of 0.02m and a Moisture vapour transmission rate of 1115g/m/per day. And Silicate Masonry Paint has an Sd value of 0.01m and a Moisture Vapour Diffusion Value of 1515g/m/per day.
