Description
Falu Rödfärg Original is a distemper paint, one of Sweden’s oldest and most widely used types of paint. The paint provides an open coating that allows the wood to breathe – it lets moisture in, but allows it to evaporate just as quickly. It minimizes the risk of rot. Its naturally protective properties are one reason why Falu Rödfärg has become Sweden’s most beloved outdoor paint.
Product description
Falu Rödfärg is not just a house paint; it is Swedish cultural history in a can. The history of this red paint can be traced all the way back to the 16th century, and today it is just as natural a choice for architect-designed villas and public buildings as it is for summer cottages and boathouses. Wood is living, and unlike plastic and oil-based paints, Falu Rödfärg distemper paint lives with its substrate. It allows the wood to breathe, which reduces the risk of rot, and it follows the natural movements of the wood in sun, rain, snow, heat, and cold.
Falu Rödfärg Original is an outdoor paint for untreated and rough-sawn timber of pine or spruce, and for repainting surfaces previously painted with distemper paint. New prefabricated houses can be painted with Falu Rödfärg provided that the facade is delivered without primer or primed with Falu Rödfärg.
