In preparation of applying Claypaint, Fraser’s decorators
began the painstaking task of removing the old
non-breathable paint to expose the bare lime plaster
beneath. “It was crucial for us to remove as much of the
previous paint as possible without damaging the plaster”
he explained. Ensuring that the walls are clean, dry and
free from flaking paint will ensure the longevity of
Claypaint and allow it to perform effectively for years to
come.
Impressed with the ease of application, Fraser’s team of
decorators “Loved using Claypaint and found its creamy
consistency was easy to apply with excellent coverage”.
This meant the only challenge the team faced was
“moving all the wooden pews so we could get a proper
high tower inside to allow safe access for the actual
decoration”.

Delighted with his experience using Earthborn Claypaint,
Fraser said, “It would be hard to find a superior paint for
any building where good coverage and breathability are
crucial. I was especially impressed by their excellent
customer service and quick delivery, having needed to
reorder paint on short notice a couple of times. We
wholeheartedly recommend Earthborn paints and have
already been sharing our positive experience with the 7
other churches in our Mission Community!”
Earthborn Claypaint is an eco friendly, highly breathable
clay based emulsion that is virtually VOC free, odour free,
has no acrylics or oils making it ideal for historic properties
and newer eco-builds.
