Limewash and plaster finishes in NoHo, Manhattan are refined work for Chelsea Limewash Co., in a small landmarked district of cast-iron and loft buildings. We apply limewash, lime plaster, and Roman clay to the tall, open interiors this neighborhood is known for. Limewash cures by carbonation into calcium carbonate, keeping its breathable, matte depth across large loft walls. From an accent wall to a full apartment, our crews finish by hand.
NoHo is a small landmarked district of cast-iron and loft buildings clustered near Bond Street. Its high-ceilinged loft interiors give hand-applied lime finishes the scale and light they show best under. The neighborhood's quiet, design-driven character makes a troweled mineral finish a natural choice over ordinary paint.
The loft interiors in NoHo's cast-iron buildings have the height and open walls that suit hand-troweled lime plaster and brushed limewash. On masonry the limewash keys in and cures to a breathable mineral finish; on drywall we prime first so plaster and clay finishes bond properly. Either way the wall gains a depth and movement that flat paint cannot.
For a polished, marble-like wall we apply burnished Venetian plaster; for a softer suede depth, Roman clay. Both build up in thin troweled coats over a mineral-primed surface and finish as a seamless plane. The stone-like result fits the refined, gallery-adjacent interiors common here.
NoHo's compact buildings and shared entries mean tidy, considerate work matters. We mask thoroughly, protect floors and common areas, and keep the job contained. The finished wall is delivered clean, with the space ready to use soon after the lime cures.
We also finish walls in nearby Gramercy. Call Chelsea Limewash Co. at (646) 828-5798 for limewash & mineral paint finishes across Manhattan.
