Tradition and Sustainability
Pine tar as a natural antiseptic has been known since the Middle Ages. Our products penetrate deeply into the wood fibers, forming a flexible protection that "breathes" with the wood, does not crack or peel. This makes future maintenance easier – surface restoration does not require sanding.
Important to Know Before Painting
Tar products are natural and contain no chemical solvents, so they require a longer drying time – on average 1 to 3 days depending on weather conditions. We recommend planning painting work during the warm and dry season.
By choosing our pine tar products, you are investing in proven quality that has stood the test of time in the coastal buildings of Sweden and Norway for hundreds of years.
