🌲 Natural Wood Look Paint – A Raw, Durable Finish for Authentic Surfaces

Looking to protect wood while keeping its natural charm? Our natural wood look paint offers a breathable, matte mineral finish that protects, respects the texture and soul of the material.

Sold in powder form, it’s easy to dilute, simple to apply, and formulated without petrochemical additives.

Whether you're renovating a cabin, cladding a shed, or designing minimalist interiors, this paint is made to enhance, not mask, the natural beauty of wood.

🎨 A Matte Mineral Finish that Lets the Wood Speak

Unlike synthetic paints or varnishes that create a shiny, plastic-like film, our natural formula:

  • Highlights the grain and irregularities of the wood

  • Offers a deep matte finish, without glare or artificial shine

  • Ages beautifully over time, without peeling

The goal? Keep the look of raw wood while giving it color, protection, and depth.

🌿 Powder-Based Paint – Natural and Practical

Our ready-to-mix powder contains only essential elements:

  • UV-resistant mineral pigments

  • Natural binders (casein, cellulose)

  • Plant-based soap for stability

  • Salt and clay for breathability

Just add water and (optionally) a bit of linseed oil for outdoor use. No solvents. No synthetic resins.

👉 Why powder?

  • Easy to ship & store

  • Mix only what you need

  • Lower carbon footprint

🪵 Preserve the Natural Look – Even with Color

Our "natural wood look" doesn't mean colorless — it means color that lets the wood remain visible and honest. The paint soaks into the surface and follows the grain, allowing:

  • Transparent or semi-opaque coverage

  • Warm earthy tones that feel organic

  • Possibility to adjust the dilution level for lighter or darker effects

For a Scandinavian-style grey, a deep barn brown, or a washed charcoal finish, it’s all possible without covering the soul of your wood.

🌧️ For Exteriors That Breathe

Perfect for wood cladding, sheds, fences, and cabins exposed to the elements, our paint:

  • Resists fungi and moisture naturally

  • Doesn’t trap humidity – the wood breathes

  • Dries quickly, even in damp conditions

Because it’s not a film-forming product, the paint won’t flake or crack. When it fades, just apply a new coat — no sanding, no scraping.

⚒️ Easy to Apply – No Special Tools Needed

  • Apply with a brush on untreated or lightly sanded wood

  • 2 coats recommended

  • Can be used on rough-sawn or planed surfaces

  • No primer needed

Touch-ups are seamless, making maintenance simple and low-cost.
