Hi, thanks. The Shed walls are ceramic brick with a concrete render. The lime wash forms a chemical/mechanical bond with the surface (brick, render, adobe, etc).
@@svenskildbiter1434 Thankyou kindly :-) I need to do something about "The Bloodshed" my workshop, the previous owner painted it very dark green and it gets so hot in there even without the forge running. I was thinking something like this to reflect a bit and if it makes even a couple of degrees difference that's a great start.
@@mikedunajew6122 Anything white will reflect the heat. What material is your shed? I would also recommend ceiling venting, a 'whirlygig' or something similar.
I am in the process of lime washing most of the exterior of the workshop. There is already a marked difference in the temperature of the lime washed areas and bare areas, between 2 and 10C.
Measurement taken with IR thermometer comparing the original brown surface on the shed to a patch with 5 coats. There was a significant difference up to 8 C.

Looking awesome!
What are the shed walls made from? Does that have an impact on the whitewash?

Wondering...does it need to go onto a porous surface?
Yes, it can't be a painted or metal surface. The lime wash forms a chemical/mechanical bond with the surface (brick, render, adobe, etc).
