What is Specialty Painting
Specialty painting refers to customized paint applications and finishes designed to achieve a unique aesthetic or functional effect. These techniques include decorative wall finishes, faux painting, textured surfaces, metallic paints, and protective coatings for high-traffic areas.
Whether you envision a dramatic focal wall, a textured ceiling, or a durable yet stylish surface, specialty painting delivers an elevated result tailored to your needs.
Our Specialty Painting Services
Cumberland Painting offers extensive specialty painting services to bring your dream space to life. From decorative finishes to functional coatings, here’s how we can transform your space:
Limewash Paint & Finish
Limewash paint is a natural, eco-friendly option for creating timeless, old-world charm. Its textured surface is created by a sandstone aggregate, which is soft to the touch. This finish softens walls with texture and depth, offering a breathable, matte look ideal for both modern and traditional spaces
Limewash finish doesn’t have the chemicals that cause other types of interior and exterior paint to be considered hazardous materials. Limewash is also a great paint alternative for anyone needing a more hypoallergenic solution since the alkaline pH of limestone makes it resistant to mold and bacteria.
Clay Paint & Finish
Enhance your interior environment with clay paint, a sustainable and non-toxic option. Known for its velvety texture and natural breathability, clay paint helps regulate humidity and creates a soothing, earthy ambiance.
Roman Clay is a specialty paint finish with a much thicker consistency than regular paint. It resembles natural stone with a soft, chalky texture. Roman Clay comes in various colors, allowing you to be bold with your design decisions.
This matte, lime-based plaster is applied to interior walls with a knife or trowel. It is a more cost-effective, more manageable alternative to stucco, concrete, or other similar finishes.
Textured Finishes
Add depth and character to walls and ceilings with textures that range from subtle to dramatic. Learn more about textured finishes.
