A: Hi Rachel,
No. We would not recommend Classico Limewash® on a high traffic or horizontal surface such as a countertop. It's not a washable finish and we don't offer a product currently that could seal it for that purpose.

Q:Can this be used on a fireplace? I have a wood burning stove insert. Will that be a problem?

Answer This Question
A: Hi Tammy. Classico Limewash is not flammable so it's safe to use inside a firebox and therefore near a wood burning insert. But it will char so if it gets near flames, so it will most likely show the effects of soot and smoke, like most surfaces would.

Q:The tile is a dark tuscany era look, (image attached). If the limewash can be used, would it cause the tile to have a much softer/lighter appearance with very little original color to show through? I’d like the variation of the color to give some natural and not painted appearance a light beige, but no yellow/gold/brown. I’m assuming if it would work it would take several coats on the really dark tiles, is it possible for some tiles individually receive more coats than others without causing an uneven overall texture to the finish? Would brush strokes show or is there a method of application that would affect the smoothness? The uneven surface of the tiles is expected, but gritty or obvious brush strokes would not give a natural appearance which is the desired effect.

A: If the surface is natural and absorbent, it can work. However, a backsplash can get messy and need cleaning. This is NOT a washable finish so it would need frequent touch-ups. As far as your question about coverage, you change the dilution for different areas. You can do 50% dilution where you want the most coverage and 100% where you want less.
