Silvertjära Altan is a modern version of tar oil made from traditional ingredients – pine tar, cold-pressed linseed oil, resin turpentine, and mineral pigments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt penetrates the wood and forms a protective layer that reduces moisture ingress and helps preserve the wood's structure. The coating highlights the natural structure of the wood and develops a silver-gray tone over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy choose Silvertjära?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany modern facade paints and decking oils are water-based emulsions. If moisture penetrates the coating and the temperature drops below 0 °C, freeze-thaw cycles can promote wear and cracking of the coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilvertjära tar oil contains no water. The linseed oil in its composition penetrates the wood, while the pine tar and pigments form a protective layer that reduces moisture impact and helps protect the wood against rot, mold, pests, and UV radiation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilvertjära uses a highly saturated tar oil system that provides a longer lifespan than conventional facade paints and decking oils. Thanks to its composition and penetration depth, it wears evenly and maintains its protective function for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMain advantages:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEconomical coating:\u003c\/strong\u003e unlike synthetic coatings, usually one coat is sufficient. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelps preserve wood structure:\u003c\/strong\u003e penetrates the surface and reduces wood fiber separation and further wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes not peel:\u003c\/strong\u003e does not form a surface film but penetrates the wood, so it wears gradually and does not detach from the surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWide application:\u003c\/strong\u003e suitable for planed wood surfaces – decks, walkways, boat docks, facades, fences, and garden structures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorks on impregnated wood:\u003c\/strong\u003e suitable for pressure-treated boards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eApplication\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePreparation:\u003c\/strong\u003e The surface must be clean, dry, and free of synthetic coatings.
