Choosing the decorative paint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we are clear about the substrate and how we are going to prepare it, comes the most rewarding part: <strong>choosing the ecological finish we want to see every day in our home.<\/strong><br>The main final systems we recommend at RedVerde are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lime paint<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Silicate paint<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clay paint<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.1 Lime paint<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideal for mineral walls (plaster, lime mortars, renders). Very breathable and with<br>a mineral matte look. It helps regulate ambient humidity and prevent mould.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Recommended RedVerde product<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/redverde.es\/en\/tienda\/pintura-de-cal-interior-exterior-colorlime\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">COLORLIME interior\/exterior lime paint<\/a><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Basic application guidelines:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Firm, clean and dry mineral substrate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Two coats of lime paint, respecting drying times and avoiding extreme temperatures, strong wind or high humidity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.2 Silicate paint<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially interesting on facades and mineral substrates in good condition. It fuses with the<br>substrate, creating a very durable and breathable finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recommended RedVerde product: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redverde.es\/en\/tienda\/pintura-de-silicato-interior-exterior-colormin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">COLORMIN interior\/exterior silicate paint<\/a><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Basic application guidelines:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mineral substrate without paint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Two coats of silicate paint. Avoid rain or fog while it hardens (curing).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.3 Clay paint<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A very decorative option for interiors, with a deep, warm matte finish. It helps<br>regulate indoor humidity and improves the sense of comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Recommended RedVerde products: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redverde.es\/en\/tienda\/pintura-de-arcilla-clayfix\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CLAYFIX clay paint.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Basic application guidelines:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Preferably mineral substrate or a compatible skim coat (plaster, lime, clay).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cleaning and application of primer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Application of 2 coats of clay paint, as indicated on the technical data sheet.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.4 Hybrid plant + lime paint<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A balanced option for interiors, combining plant-based components with lime. It offers a natural matte finish, good breathability and behaviour very well suited to inhabited spaces, helping to regulate ambient humidity and improve indoor comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recommended RedVerde product:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/redverde.es\/en\/tienda\/pintura-ecologica-para-interior-colornatur\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/redverde.es\/tienda\/pintura-ecologica-para-interior-colornatur\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">COLORNATUR ecological interior paint.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Basic application guidelines:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Firm, clean and dry substrate, preferably mineral or correctly prepared.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Light sanding and cleaning if there is existing paint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Application of a compatible primer, if necessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Application of <strong>2 coats<\/strong> of hybrid plant + lime paint, as indicated on the technical data sheet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Simple criteria for choosing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a quick guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you are looking for maximum breathability and a very mineral look, and you have a mineral substrate \u2192<br>LIME or SILICATE paint, depending on the case.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you are looking for a very warm finish, soft to the touch and very decorative indoors \u2192 CLAY<br>PAINT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the priority is exterior durability on facade renders \u2192 usually<br>SILICATE PAINT (depending on substrate and conditions).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<style>.kb-gallery-id-19127_3c2a88-59.kb-gallery-ul.kb-gallery-type-fluidcarousel
