Before and after
The problem
Non-breathable paint had begun to fail over previously restored lime surfaces, leaving blotchy sheen and patching.
The approach
We removed unstable coatings, checked substrate readiness, and applied a compatible breathable finish system.
The result
The room gained a consistent matte finish with preserved breathability and easier long-term maintenance.
"The finish is calm and elegant, and they gave clear care guidance."
