Advantages
Natural finish

Color retention

Many architects prefer to preserve the warm, brown tone of our wood. Due to weather influences, the wood will naturally grey over time. With the Natural finish, you retain the color after platowood treatment.

Coat or Warm

We offer the Natural finish in two colors: the opaque Coat or the vibrant Warm. Both are true to the color after our process.

High fire class

Our Natural Coat and Warm finishes are both compatible with a fire-retardant treatment by Hestus.

Brushed wood

Did you know that wood with a Natural finish is delivered brushed as standard? This extends the maintenance interval and gives you a warranty on the finish.

Natural Warm is a semi-transparent stain for Platowood Fraké and Platowood Spruce. A warm brown color that reveals the natural grain of the wood. Natural Coat is an opaque finish with an even brown tone and long-term warranty.

Due to stricter fire class regulations, oil-based finishes are no longer available. Stain finishes, however, remain available. Our Natural finish was previously called Natural Color Oil (NCO) and Natural Color Stain (NCS).

This renewed, true-to-nature finish is suitable for Platowood Fraké and Spruce. A semi-transparent stain that provides a warm brown color. This layer degrades gradually and is subject to maintenance. See our maintenance guidelines for more information on intervals. Upon ordering, the planks are machine-sprayed by a third party.

Frequently asked
questions

It is possible to request samples of wood with the Natural finish. You can easily request samples via this link.

Previously, we also had two Natural colors: one oil-based and the other stain-based. Due to changes in laws and regulations, oil finishes are no longer suitable for maintaining Fire Class D. These two colors, NCO and NCS, have now been replaced with new versions that meet Fire Class D. Since both colors were popular choices among architects, we decided to reintroduce two Natural variants.

When you apply a color finish to wood, maintenance becomes a factor. Weather influences cause the finish to gradually degrade. To ensure good adhesion and a long lifespan, the wood is brushed.

Note: when wood has a color finish (with the exception of Weathered), we only provide a warranty if the wood has been brushed.

Standard Platowood has a fire class of D-s2, d0. With the FireProtect treatment, this is upgraded to B-s2, d0. The exact fire class may vary depending on the wood type, treatment, and application.
