All you need to know
Silicate Masonry Paint is a durable masonry paint that dries to a classic, matt finish. Being highly breathable and weather resistant it offers an alternative to traditional lime based and conventional coatings.
It can be used on interior or exterior bare, porous mineral surfaces. Eg. Stone, masonry, concrete, pebbledash, plaster and sound silicate-based painted surfaces. It’s especially suitable for renovation projects and can have a lifespan of up to 15 years.
Approx coverage: 5-7m² per litre depending on surface.
Note: Earthborn Silicate Masonry Paint can be applied over conventional ‘plastic’ masonry paints with the use of Earthborn Bonding Primer. Some clay surfaces may require special treatment.
For Silicate Masonry Paint to work effectively it must be used with either Earthborn’s Silicate Primer or Bonding Primer. Please click the Primer tab to check which primer is right for you.

For our Silicate Masonry Paint to work effectively, you’ll need to use either our Silicate Primer or Bonding Primer before application.
Silicate Primer: For bare porous unpainted masonry substrates such as lime plaster, stone, pebbledash & concrete. When used with Silicate Masonry Paint it will create a highly breathable and permanent chemical bond.
Bonding Primer: For use over previously painted, sound masonry substrates. When used with Silicate Masonry Paint it will create a strong mechanical bond.
Our paint and primer products when used together form a bond to the underlying substrate to create a weather resistant, beautiful matt finish.
Our primers are water based and virtually VOC free.
