Why is Swedish paint the best choice for your wooden house?
Falu Rödfärg, also known as Swedish red paint, is a tradition proven over centuries for protecting wooden buildings. Its uniqueness lies in its historical composition, based on natural pigments from the Falu mines in Sweden. This ecological paint is an environmentally and health-friendly solution, containing no synthetic additives or solvents.
Main advantages:
- 100% natural composition: The paint is based on iron oxide pigment, linseed oil, and a natural flour thickener. It is a completely natural and safe choice.
- Allows wood to "breathe": Unlike film-forming paints, Falu Rödfärg penetrates the wood, creating a diffusion-open layer. This allows moisture to escape from the wood, protecting it from rot and mold.
- Long-lasting protection: The unique composition ensures resistance to harsh weather, UV radiation, and moisture, lasting up to 15 years.
- Easy to renew: When refreshing the paint, there is no need to remove the old layer—one new coat is enough to restore the facade’s fresh appearance.
- Suitable for rough surfaces: Ideally suited for sawn pine and spruce wood, log houses, fences, and other rough wooden structures.
How to properly paint with Swedish paint?
Make sure the wooden surface is dry (moisture below 18%) and free from previous synthetic coatings. For new wood, it is recommended to slightly dilute the first coat with water, and apply the second coat after 24 hours. For best results, use a facade brush.
