Choose your BioLime System and enter how many square feet you need to cover. This calculator assumes that you're using a standard color; please note that additional charges may apply depending on which pigments you would like added.
Please note that this calculator makes certain assumptions about the thickness at which our products need to be applied. Depending on the specifics of a given project, these thicknesses might not be sufficient. This is particularly noteworthy for our ICF system, so please do reach out directly if you'd like more information or a more specific quote. Please refer to our Architectural Guide Specifications for more information.
Breathable Sealer
Hold Out is a reactive, penetrating catalyzed siliconate solution that fuses within porous substrates such as BioLime Lime Plaster, stucco, concrete, brick, stone, and mortar to combat freeze/thaw damage, scaling and spalling, and limit penetration of stains, damaging impurities and salt. Hold Out is breathable with minimal impact to traction coefficient. It creates a cross linked insoluble methyl silicone internal membrane that will wear away only if the substrate itself wears away below sealer penetration.
Colors
Earth pigments are naturally occurring minerals containing natural iron oxides and manganese oxides that have been used since prehistoric times.
Cave paintings dating back as far as 30,000 years are evidence of some of the first uses of earth pigments as an art form. The pigment was applied by hand or even blown through a hollow reed in a primitive airbrush type of technique on moistened limestone cave walls that bled the limestone during the process. This natural chemical reaction created the later Roman technique known as “fresco". This ancient art form created durable, weather proof artworks that are forever dated in history.
We use the exact chemistry to create the colors of all of our finishing products.
In similar fashion to ancient cave paintings artworks, BioLime colorants are unaffected by UV light and will not chip, peel or crack.
Achieve Everlasting, Natural Beauty with BioLime.
VIEW COLOR PALETTE
Custom coloring is a service we offer where we blend our natural earth powders to create additional colors to meet the needs of architects, designers and specifiers.
We can create a wide range of beautiful colors, from luminescent whites and off-whites, to subtle browns, to the vibrant hues of the rainbow. Like BioLime Pigments, when producing custom colors, our color chemistry allows exterior and interior finishes to achieve luminescent, color-stable and everlasting results.
ABOUT CUSTOM COLOR
With a recorded history of over 20,000 years, ancient paintings on limestone cave walls still visible today used similar technology and are a testament of their stability.
BioLime Color pigments are among the most stable and weather resistant colorants known to man.
Choose from among natural, raw earth extracts or premium blended pigments.
We provide custom color matching for colors not in our current palette. To reproduce your desired color, we will need an actual sample in hand. You can either email us as a color code from a known paint manufacturer or send us a sample of the color by snail mail.
We offer rich, proprietary color options, from the subtle to the bold. We believe color is as much an art as a science, and we hand-mix all our colors.
Each Sample Board is hand-made by request for a BioLime color of your choosing.
