Heritage Case Study

Spetchley Park, Worcester
Spetchley Park is a family owned Grade II listed mansion that has been in the same family for over
400 years. The Regency house is built in two storeys of Bath stone; set in parkland and over 30 acres
of gardens.
An extensive redecoration program has recently taken place reimagining this historic house for a
young family in the 21st century.

Exceptional Heritage Paints
Traditional building materials like lime and clay have been used to decorate and protect buildings inside and out for thousands of years. In the past, this meant using a limewash or other more delicate materials such as distempers.  
These coatings, whilst allowing the substrate to breathe effectively, were often more difficult to use, lacked durability, and offered a limited lifespan compared to modern plastic based paints.
These materials are still present in many older buildings and are now widely used as a more sustainable option for renovation and modern construction.
Graphenstone lime silicate paints offer the best of both

Graphenstone’s ecological and sustainable paints were selected for the full redecoration of the building.
Graphenstone was chosen for:
• Breathability - Class 1 vapour open
• A strong environmental focus
• Requirement for natural mineral based materials
• Durability & Washability – Wet Scrub Class 1
