Tar Paint Röd Roslagsmahogny Red Brown - natural protection for facades, fences, and garden furniture (DAMAGED PACKAGING)

Deep red-brown glaze-like finish with a matte effect — highlights the natural texture of wood and gives a classic, elegant appearance.

Röd Roslagsmahogny continues the centuries-old Swedish tar oil traditions. It has been widely used since the early 19th century, protecting the facades of buildings along the Roslagen coast and the Stockholm archipelago. The product's composition has not changed over time: pine tar, cold-pressed linseed oil, and balsam turpentine, with the addition of natural red iron oxide pigment. Free from petroleum-based solvents and synthetic additives. The result is a deep red-brown, matte finish with a glaze-like effect that highlights the natural grain of the wood.

Why choose Röd Roslagsmahogny?

Synthetic paints often form a film layer on the wood surface, which cracks and peels over time. Svart Roslagsmahogny works differently — the linseed oil in its composition deeply penetrates the wood, while the pine tar with added pigment fills micro-cracks and provides protection against moisture, rot, pests, and UV radiation.

Main advantages:

• Economical: unlike many synthetic paints, one coat is usually sufficient for full protection against moisture and mold.
• Classic Swedish red tone: glaze-like pigmentation with natural red iron oxide pigment gives the wood a deep red-brown tone while maintaining its visible natural texture.
• Matte surface: does not create shine — no "plastic" or "lacquered" effect typical of synthetic paints and varnishes.
• Suitable for various surfaces: suitable for both planed and sawn wood — facades, log houses, fences, and garden furniture.
• Low consumption: 6–10 m²/L depending on the wood's absorption capacity and surface type (sawn or planed).
• Does not peel or crack: does not form a covering film — the oil deeply penetrates the wood pores, creating a durable protective layer. The surface wears evenly, and no removal of the old layer is needed for renewal.

Application

1. Preparation: the surface must be clean, dry, and free from synthetic paints or varnishes. It is recommended to wash dirty surfaces with linseed oil soap and water, then allow to dry completely.
2. Mixing: the product contains natural iron oxide pigment, which may settle. Stir thoroughly before use and periodically during work.
3. Application: apply in a thin, even layer with a brush in the direction of the wood grain. Work in widths of 2–3 boards to avoid visible transitions.
4. Second coat (if necessary): for a deeper tone, apply after 24–48 hours when the first coat is completely dry. In most cases, one coat is sufficient.
5. Temperature: apply in dry weather when the air and surface temperature is at least +18°C. Avoid direct sunlight and precipitation.
