Tinta Chiara Smooth Lime Paint

TINTA CHIARA from Terre et Lumiere is a filtered lime putty paint that offers a versatile solution for both interior and exterior surfaces. It is a high-quality, eco-friendly option made from natural products. The paint is crafted with smooth, aged, and filtered Italian lime, which contributes to its superior finish and breathability on various surfaces, including stone, brick, and plaster. The paint presents a semi-creamy white appearance, providing a timeless and elegant look.

The product’s formulation ensures that surfaces are able to breathe, helping to maintain the integrity of the underlying materials. This feature is particularly beneficial for older buildings or structures made from traditional materials. Users can expect consistent coverage and a durable, long-lasting finish once applied.

After using the paint, clean-up is simple. All tools can be cleaned using just soap and water, avoiding the need for harsh chemicals or solvents. This ease of maintenance complements the paint’s eco-friendly nature, making it a practical choice for those committed to sustainability while not compromising on quality or aesthetic appeal.
