About Falu Rödfärg Original
Falu Rödfärg is a living product and the colour may vary a little due to different pigment firings. Change batches at house corners to avoid differences in nuance. A can of 10 liters is enough for approximately 30m². Expect about three hours of painting work per 30 m².

Its natural, protective properties are the reason why Falu Rödfärg has become Sweden's most beloved outdoor paint. The paint allows the wood to breathe, which reduces the risk of rot, and it moves with the wood's natural movements in sunshine, rain, snow, the heat and cold. 

Advantages of Falu Red Color Original:

• A color that lasts - The natural pigment from the Falun mines gives the paint its unique look. Most distempers are affected by sunlight, and red paints are particularly sensitive in this respect. But Falu Rödfärg retains its beautiful shade year after year so that you don’t have to paint your house as often. You save time and money and can instead enjoy your magnificent home.
• Pigment - The pigment contains around 20 natural minerals that preserve the natural beauty of the wood. Despite a tough and varied climate, Falu Rödfärg protects and preserves our houses.
• Value for money - Falu Rödfärg Original is living proof that quality wins out in the long run. Extensive testing shows that Falu Rödfärg lasts several years longer than other distempers. This applies to both to the durability of the colour and the quality of the surface itself. Cheap copies on the market reveal clear inconsistencies in shade and are subject to crackling after only two to four years. If you want to keep your timber house fresh and beautiful, buying cheap may end up costing you dear.
