Spotting the Difference Between Limewash and Whitewash

Limewash vs Whitewash? While both treatments look amazing in the end, it helps to know the difference so you can choose a brick painting solution that meets your needs.

Limewash treatments involve using limestone particles that have been crushed into a putty-like substance. Whether tinted or white, the end product gives a matte, chalky look and feel.

Whitewash, a trendy treatment used to tone down the color of your natural brick, applies a water-based paint-and-water solution to the brick. The result is a thin layer of the paint of your choice while also allowing for some brick to show through.
