Earthborn has added to its collection of eco clay paints two brand new colours, Lucy’s Scarf and Tutu. Free from harmful emissions or nasty odours, the unique clay based recipe creates a paint with an ultra-matt finish that is thick and creamy in texture and glides onto the walls.
Earthborn clay paints are licensed by DEFRA to carry the prestigious EU Eco-label Flower, awarded only to products meeting the scheme’s strict environmental and performance standards.
However, its not just its eco-friendly credentials that makes Earthborn paints popular with decorators of period homes. Earthborn eco paints are also amongst the most breathable paints available, an essential feature for older properties that rely on movement of air and moisture to maintain stability.
“Acrylic paints can provide an unwelcome barrier to the damp in the wall, virtually sealing the surface of the wall,"says Earthborn Managing Director John Dison But you cannot seal in the damp for ever. With nowhere to go, it will eventually blow the paint and plaster off a wall. Whether it be an old wall with inherent damp problems or a newly plastered wall, letting it breathe through the paint will balance the humidity.”
The coloured clay paints are priced from £22.00 for a 2.5 litre pot for more information visit www.earthbornpaints.co.uk
