Claypaint is a luxurious, ultra-matt, clay-based finish for interior walls and ceilings from EarthBorn, the environmentally-conscious paint manufacturer.

The unique recipe creates a hardwearing and breathable paint, which is thick and creamy and requires fewer coats than conventional emulsions. Being VOC (volatile organic compound) Free and carrying the EU Ecolabel, you can rest assured that decorating with Claypaint won’t cost the earth.

What’s in Claypaint?

Claypaint is a VOC and acrylic-free eco-friendly product made up of just a few ingredients:

• Water
• Various Clays
• Chalk
• Kaolin (a fine, soft, white clay, resulting from the natural decomposition of other clays or feldspar)
• Vinegar ester (used to bind the paint)
• Methylcellulose (derived from cellulose)
• Titanium dioxide (white and some colours)
• Pigments (some colours)
• 0.1% synthetic preservative

How to Use Claypaint

Just like a conventional emulsion, Claypaint can be applied using a brush, roller, or spray. Bear in mind that the method of application will affect the finished texture of the paint: a roller will create the most texture (the longer the roller hair, the greater the texture) and spray will offer the least. For the best finish, most people find that a short pile roller is the ideal application tool.

Can I use Claypaint for Kitchens and Bathrooms?

Claypaint is ideal for use in kitchens and bathrooms as its breathability reduces the occurrence of condensation, mould, and mildew. It is still best to use a tiled splashback behind sinks and cookers or shower enclosures.
