This paint is 100% natural and organic, offering your project a breathable paint which is solvent free and incredibly durable. A great eco friendly alternative to conventional outdoor wood paints with no compromise on quality.

Inspired by the famous traditional falun / falu red paints commonly used in Sweden, Finland, and Norway. The name falun originates in “Falun” which is a small city in Sweden. It is known for iron and copper mining, and the waste products from the mines were used to make red paint.

Traditional falun paint is made from water, rye flour, linseed oil, as well as silicates mixed with iron oxides and copper compounds. 

This type of paint is permeable, which means it will change colour depending upon weather conditions. On days with high levels of humidity, it looks a darker shade of red than on a dry summer day.

This paint is biocide free.

Ingredients: Water, mineral fillers, mineral pigments, linseed oil, wheaten flour, vitriolic iron.

Coverage: 4m2 per litre

Application: Stir well before use. Mix together products from different batch numbers to even out any differences.

Avoid direct sunlight or contact with moisture during application. Ensure temperature range of 10∞C to 30∞C, and humidity below 85%

Dilute the first coat with 20% water, allow 24 hours drying time, followed by an undiluted second coat. The base coat will not adhere to wood knots and nail heads. Apply another coat to these areas.

Wood reach in substances (e.g. oak, Douglas fir) can cause discoloration and problems of adhesion.

Wood dampness max. 12% for hard wood, 15 % for soft wood.

Maintenance: Any surface damage should be repaired immediately to ensure longevity. The paint is not abrasion resistant and will gradually wash out over time. To maintain, add fresh paint as required. Just brush off any dirt or loose particles before use.

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.
