Interested in a Natural wood effect?
Find the right protective lacquer here
The reason for using a Natural wood effect lacquer is always that the bare wood should remain perceptible in both optics and feel after coating. It should at the same time be well protected for everyday use and radiate its natural beauty over an extended period.
Every woodworker loves this feeling of pure, natural wood. It’s especially after the final fine wood sanding that the wood feels wonderfully warm, almost velvety. We recommend coating in a Natural wood effect if you’d like to obtain this authenticity.
There are various systems for achieving this. We supply different lacquers for professional users to suit the desired processing and type of wood being used.

Natural wood effect with HYDRO lacquer
You can choose between two aqueous Natural wood effects from our PERFECT family (2C HYDRO). Both are outstandingly suitable for sustainable objects, since at 11 % their formula already contains a high proportion of renewable raw materials. Our PERFECT-NATURA HDE 54500 is light fast, dull matt, offers great scratch resistance and is the ideal alternative to solvent-based Natural wood effect lacquer thanks to its top resistance properties. Our PERFECT-NATURA bright HDE 54510comes from the same product family and is specifically formulated for lighter woods; it is also open-pored, dull matt and scratch resistant.
As a fast drying, light fast 1C HYDRO lacquer you could use our COOL-NATURA: it features a purely natural look and feel as well as super protection according to DIN 68861 1C.
We recommend our PURA-NATURA for parquet flooring in a natural wood look.

Our FANTASTIC-NATURA provides top protection in terms of mechanical and chemical resistance (DIN 68861-1B). It can be used in the complete field of interior fittings and throughout living areas.

Especially for dark woods (such as walnut), we can supply you with the qualitatively comparable version FANTASTIC-NATURA dark wood.
