Wood coatings


Greying scumble

Description: Pre-greying in the factory anticipates the natural greying of the openly weathered surface of the façade. If the surface is weathered over the years, the wood gradually becomes naturally greyed. The areas that are protected from the weather (e.g. roof overhangs, areas around windows and the like) also match the overall appearance in the long term thanks to häussermann WoodCare Natural Patina.
Area of application: Façade construction

Opaque coating

Description: Opaque coating systems create a uniformly coloured surface, the structure of the wood can no longer be seen. Thanks to our quality-assured water-based Vakumat process, you get the best possible wood protection.
Area of application: Façade construction

Transparent coating

Description: In contrast to opaque coatings, clear varnishes allow the wood structure to still be seen, and sometimes even enhance it. Our clear varnishes offer protection against moisture, UV rays and other environmental influences.
Area of application: Façade construction and interior fittings

Colourless coating

Description: Colourless coatings protect the wood and offer increased UV protection, while also retaining the natural colour. They are thus particularly well-suited to use indoors.
Area of application: Interior fittings
