FAQs

  • 1. Which paint finish should I use for interior walls and ceilings?

    Earthborn Claypaint and Lifestyle are both suitable for interior walls and ceilings.

  • 2. I need help choosing between Earthborn Claypaint and Lifestyle emulsion. What's the difference?

    Both paints are virtually VOC free, with no nasty paint smells or harmful emissions. They are water based and safe to use in children’s rooms, carrying the Toy Safety Standard.

    Claypaint is our most breathable paint, with a high solids content and a distinctive ultra-flat matt finish. With a thick, creamy consistency it covers exceptionally well. It’s especially suitable for older properties and lime plastered surfaces where breathability is a priority.

    Lifestyle emulsion is durable and washable with a very low sheen. It’s perfect for busier areas of the home such as hallways and children’s playrooms because it can be easily wiped clean. It isn’t as breathable as Claypaint so not recommended for lime plastered surfaces.

  • 3. Can I use an airless spray gun to apply Claypaint and Lifestyle?

    Yes, both our Claypaint and Lifestyle emulsions are suitable for spray application, as follows:

    Claypaint

    Tip Size: 515

    Pressure (psi): 2800

    Gun Filter: 60 mesh

    Thinning: Not normally required

    Recommended Pump: Titan 640i or equivalent

    Lifestyle

    Tip Size: 415

    Pressure (psi): 2800

    Gun Filter: 60 mesh

    Thinning: Not normally required

    Recommended Pump: Titan 640i or equivalent

  • 4. Which Earthborn paint is most suitable for kitchens, bathrooms and high traffic areas?

    For high traffic areas like family kitchens, bathrooms or hallways, Earthborn Lifestyle emulsion offers a durable, washable surface with a classic low-sheen finish.

    For high traffic areas with lime plaster, a breathable paint finish should be used. We’d recommend using Earthborn Claypaint, which can be finished with a diluted coat of Wall Glaze to protect the surface and maintain its breathability. Please note that Wall Glaze can slightly alter the appearance of Claypaint so we would recommend testing an area first – sample pots are available to buy here in both Claypaint and Wall Glaze.
