NATURUM
CLT FINISH
Bakgrund
A positive effect of the increased environmental awareness is that more and more people are choosing to build with wood, and architects are praising and embracing wood as a material. Quite simply, the walls of houses are often left unpainted to retain the natural quality of the material.
This aesthetic can be seen in all types of buildings, but one of the construction techniques and styles frequently associated with this is cross-laminated timber, or CLT, which is a technique where buildings are constructed from solid wood.
Aesthetically, the interior surfaces are often kept in wood. This construction technique is very popular in sustainable projects—both for private individuals and in the public sector—and the market continues to grow.
However, even if the wood is left unpainted, it needs to be treated to be protected in various ways. Färgbygge's Naturum Wood Glaze and Naturum CLT Finish are popular products for surface treatment.
Naturum CLT Finish – A compliment to wood – is what we have chosen to call our latest addition to the NATURUM family.

Painting CLT
Do you need to sand before painting?
Glossy surfaces should be dulled with fine sandpaper before painting. Ensure that the substrate is dry, solid, and free from dirt and grease. Any cracks and unevenness should be filled with wood filler and sanded. Avoid using synthetic soft sealant as there is a risk of the paint cracking.
Do you need to prime before painting?
The wood glaze acts as both a primer and topcoat in one product. If the substrate has significant knots, you can use Naturum Hartsgrund as a primer to minimize knot bleeding.
Can you control how pigmented the finished surface will be?
Depending on how strongly pigmented you want the surface to be, you can choose to apply one coat or multiple coats.
How do you know if the paint is dry?
Generally, the drying times indicated on the packaging should be observed. A tip is to feel the paint surface with the back of your hand; if it feels "cool," the paint may need more time to dry.
