Mineral paints

[Tootsiroll]

Hi all.

I've beed drawing up plans for my future house move, it'll be our first DIY project ever if you don't count assembling the Ikea book case and TV stand.

Allowing the walls of the property to "breathe" will be quite important as we don't want a build up of moisture and condensation. With that in mind our research suggests mineral based paints are a good solution.

Has anyone had any experience using clay paints like Earthborn or Keim? Do you get good coverage and have you had good results?

We've recently used Graphenstone. The Grafclean we used in the walls was better than the basic white of theirs that we used on the ceiling. Coverage was good. We added a little water per the instructions, it went on well and dried quickly. Zero smell. Would use it again.

Earth born is excellent. Did most of the house with it
One coat only was needed to wipe out the blue paint ( lime wash ) under it.
Very easy to use

Havent heard of this one @OttersAreMySpiritAnimal ( so I’ve just had a look and it sounds good)

how many coats did you need to get an even thorough coverage ?

2 coats, mostly. It was on top of a white mist coat on new plaster, there where a few bits where I felt the plaster was darker and I did 3 coats there.
