The stone walls of St James’s Church in Halloughton, near Southwell had been redecorated with acrylic based paints which were preventing the walls from breathing and had led to damage. Vicar Phil White said: “I know from personal experience in other churches that historic walls painted with conventional, acrylic based paints can lead to expensive problems with the building. It is worth investing in breathable paint to safeguard the fabric of the building for future generations.” 34 - www.refurbandrestore.co.uk The vestry was replastered using breathable lime plaster and other areas of lime plaster repaired using Earthborn Casein Filler. Any chalky patches were stabilised with Earthborn Wall Glaze before applying Earthborn Claypaint. Vicar Phil White added: “We managed to complete the work just before the first wedding at the church for 11 years. It was ideal that because Claypaint does not give off any toxic emissions the church was odour free for everyone attending.” Claypaint is a unique, clay based emulsion. Its advanced technology maximises the natural properties of clay to create a high performance, highly breathable paint that covers exceptionally well and gives a distinctive, ultra matt finish. Claypaint is available in Earthborn’s signature palette of 72 shades. Being free of oils and acrylics, Claypaint is virtually VOC free and does not give off any toxic emissions so it is safer for the health of building occupants and the environment. Its eco credentials include the stringent EU Ecolabel. Bespoke colours can be developed through the nationwide network of Earthborn stockists such as Carnill and Company which supplied this project.
