A Tradition Rooted

Our paint is inspired by millions sheds, barns, houses and fences build in scandinavia for centuries. Originally developed to protect rural wooden buildings from harsh North climates, this formula is rich in minerals and based on natural binders.

Today, it's been adapted for modern users — easy to prepare, non-toxic, and suitable for all exterior wooden surfaces.

Key Benefits for Barn Owners

Choosing our paint for barns means choosing performance, safety, and sustainability:

1. Breathability and Wood Preservation

Wood needs to breathe. Unlike film-forming acrylic or oil-based paints, our paint allows moisture to escape — reducing the risk of rot or fungal growth.

2. Matte, Non-Reflective Finish

The rich, matte finish enhances the natural character of wood. It won’t peel like conventional paints and can be touched up without stripping.

3. Color Integrity Over Time

Our natural pigments are UV-resistant and won’t fade quickly. Red, black, and gray tones remain vibrant year after year.

4. Eco-Friendly Composition

No solvents, no petrochemicals. Only plant-based binders, minerals, and clays. Safe for livestock buildings and environmentally sensitive areas.

5. Cost-Effective Coverage

One 1 unit covers 160 sft² 15 m² depending on wood type and porosity.

Ideal for More Than Just Barns

  • Sheds

  • Stables

  • Wooden fences

  • Outdoor cabins

  • Agricultural storage

Its versatility and natural look make it the go-to solution for anyone seeking a rustic, durable, and authentic finish.
