Clay Paint - Natural Clay Based Paints for Walls & Ceilings

Clay Paint - Natural Clay Based Paints for Walls & Ceilings

Clay paints are popular due the beautiful texture the paint has on your walls, you really just have to see for yourself. Growing in popularity not only due to looking great, but also for being easy to use and apply, and being available in a large range of colours.

 They seem far more comforting, and more luxurious than your 'big brand plastic based paint' from the high street. Try a tester pot to see!

Personally I'm a massive fan of the Auro 535 clay based paint, as it properly ticks all the natural and eco friendly benchmarks that Auro are famous for. 

We stock both Auro 535 Coloured Clay Paint, and the white version of the same paint, Auro 331 White Clay Paint, as well as the ever popular Earthborn Claypaint

Are clay based paints mould resistant?

Clay paints are a little more mould inhibiting than ordinary paints, but we have better options if you are specifically looking for mould resistant paints.

We also have a range of more traditional lime and chalk based paints if you are going down that route, but for most people the standard natural coloured emulsion paint range is more than adequate for most rooms.

What about the Earthborn Clay Paint?

The clay paint from Earthborn also consistently has great feedback from customers, and has been a constant seller over the years.

It comes down more to colour range that you prefer, and both brands offer a great option. One could argue that Auro 535 has the edge for eco credentials, but the Earthborn is still very good too!

Painting newly plastered walls

If wanting to use Auro 331 white clay paint, or Auro 535 Coloured Clay paint, then either use a mist coat of the Auro 331 diluted with 10% water, or use the Auro 505 primer diluted with 10% water. 

For irregular or very absorptive surfaces the Auro 310 plaster primer would be a great choice. 

Painting over old paint with Clay Paint

On existing whiter shades of paint, apply Auro 535 without diluting. 

On all other coloured pre-painted surfaces apply 1 coat diluted with up to 10% of water, and then a further one or two coats of the clay paints. 

What is Roman Clay Paint?

Roman clay paint is very different, and it's not really a paint. Roman clay is much thicker, more like a plaster that is applied to the wall with a a putty knife or similar.

Roman Clay is better suited for creating deeper textures or creative textures and finishes on walls, rather than a more flat matt that a regular clay paint offers.

A Roman clay finish creates a lovely look, but for most people it's not really what they are looking for!
