Gives big and small houses the typical Swedish house look: oxide red, solvent-free pigment colour wash for rough sawn wooden facades in residential and summer houses. You can even make the Swedish look perfect by painting window and door frames with contrasting white AURO gloss paint.
Auro’s high-quality range are the top organic, 100% natural paints on the market today. They offer a breathable, solvent-free alternative to conventional outdoor wood paints, with excellent durability—there is no compromise between its performance and its environmentally-friendly credentials.
This paint is based on traditional falun red paint, a permeable red paint commonly used in Sweden, Finland and Norway. The name ‘falun’ comes from ‘Falun’, a small city in Sweden known for mining iron and copper; waste products from the mining process were used to make the paint the city is named after (hence why the paint is red). Traditional falun paint contains water, rye flour, linseed oil and silicates as well as iron oxides and copper compounds.
Please note that as with all paints of this kind, the precise colour varies depending on the weather because of its permeability. On humid days, it appears darker than in summer weather.
