Terre et Lumière
Tinta Chiara
Smooth, luxurious lime paint finish from aged and filtered Italian lime
Breathable, elegant and creamy finish for both interior and exterior surfaces
Tinta Chiara from Terre et Lumière is a smooth, filtered lime putty paint offering a high-quality, eco-friendly finish for both interior and exterior surfaces. Made from natural materials, including aged and filtered Italian lime, it provides exceptional breathability and a timeless, elegant appearance. The paint has a creamy, soft-white look when applied and can be used on a variety of surfaces, such as stone, brick, and plaster.
Thanks to its natural lime composition, Tinta Chiara allows walls to breathe, helping to protect the building fabric by letting moisture escape rather than trapping it inside.
This makes it an ideal choice for traditional and historic buildings, as well as for new projects where breathability and sustainability are priorities. Once applied, it delivers even coverage, excellent durability, and a beautifully natural matt finish that lasts for many years.
Cleanup is simple — tools and brushes can be washed with soap and water, with no need for harsh chemicals or solvents. Its ease of use and natural formulation make it a practical and environmentally responsible choice for both professionals and homeowners who want a healthy, long-lasting finish.
Highlights
- BREATHABLE: As a natural lime paint, it’s fully vapour-permeable, allowing walls to breathe and reducing the risk of trapped moisture.
- VOC-FREE (0.0% VOC): Completely free from Volatile Organic Compounds — odourless, non-toxic, and safe for indoor use, supporting excellent air quality.
- EASY APPLICATION: Can be applied with a brush or roller for smooth, even results.
- SUITABLE FOR LISTED BUILDINGS: Ideal for use on heritage and listed properties, perfectly compatible with traditional materials and conservation work.
