Description
Silicate Masonry Paint is a breathable, durable masonry paint that dries to a classic matt finish. Highly breathable and weather-resistant, it offers an alternative to traditional lime-based and conventional coatings.
Earthborn Silicate Masonry Paint is great for all sorts of exterior surfaces — just be sure to use the right primer alongside it for the best results.
To work properly, the paint must be used as part of a system, with either:
- Earthborn Silicate Primer — for bare, absorbent mineral surfaces. This forms a permanent, highly breathable chemical bond that becomes part of the surface itself.
- Earthborn Bonding Primer — for previously painted or less absorbent surfaces. This helps the paint grip firmly by creating a strong mechanical bond.

Colours shown on screen may vary from the actual paint. Slight variations can occur between batches and finishes, and the substrate, surface texture and lighting can all affect the final appearance.
Advice is given in good faith but without warranty, as methods of application and site conditions are outside our control.
Not suitable for: synthetic resin renders, acrylic plasters, latex paints, plastic, wood, metal and glass. Surfaces treated to repel water are unsuitable, as their water-resistant properties prevent proper paint penetration and bonding. Avoid applying to areas affected by rising damp or salt deposits — these issues should be treated first so the paint can adhere properly and last.
Drying time: 1 hour
Approx. coverage: Approximately 6m² per litre*
*Actual coverage will depend on the absorbency of the surface and the method of application.
