Q: What is the difference between limewash and whitewash?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re deciding between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/limewash-vs-whitewash.htm">limewash versus whitewash</a>, know that both have a chalky matte appearance. Limewash is made from lime, water, and sometimes pigment, while whitewash consists of lime, water, white chalk, and binders (though you can get a similar look with watered-down white paint). Whitewash has fewer options for color customization, and it sits on surfaces instead of being absorbed into them, which can trap moisture. Whitewashing costs less&mdash;about $1.40 to $4.20 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: What are options for refacing a gas fireplace?

• <div><p>You may have some limitations when looking for materials and a design to reface your gas fireplace versus what&rsquo;s available for a traditional wood-burning fireplace. Some <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/gas-fireplace-surround-ideas.htm">gas fireplace surround ideas</a> include stone, concrete, brick, tile, wood, steel, and plaster. However, you should check with the manufacturer of your gas fireplace model to determine if you have any limitations on what you can use.</p></div>

Q: What does hearth look like?

• <div><p>A hearth often looks like a tile or brick floor that juts out from and surrounds your fireplace. A hearth can be made of stone, brick, ceramic, or any other fireproof material. Brick offers a classic and traditional vibe, whereas a hearth made of marble or ceramic may lean more toward modern aesthetics. The most common depth of a hearth is 20 inches.</p></div>

Q: How long will limewash last?

• <div><p>How long limewash will last depends on the quality of the application and the porosity of the surface. For example, a limewash on brick will last five to seven years. If it's a home exterior application, exposure to specific weather conditions is also a factor. Limewash tends to develop a patina over time, and its natural look masks damage and imperfections well. </p></div>

Q: How does limewash compare to whitewash?

• <div><p>Limewash and whitewash often appear together in a quick search when looking for ways to paint brick&mdash;so, what&rsquo;s the difference? <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-limewash-paint.htm">Limewash paint</a> is one of the most natural and environmentally friendly ways to paint brick. It&rsquo;s made from limestone and water, giving it an off-white appearance that looks similar to whitewash. However, limewash is semi-permanent, whereas whitewash is a more permanent, watered-down version of existing paint. </p><p>Both brick paint options are economical and light in color, but if you want to change the appearance of your home&rsquo;s brick in the future, then limewash might be a better option.</p></div>
