Wood facades have a special charm. However, under certain circumstances it can take decades for a uniform silver-grey patina to devel-op, like those seen on mountain huts in the Alps. Untreated wood facades change their colour and surface structure depending on environmental influences. Determining when the effect may be achieved is difficult, as many factors have an influence on various building surfaces.

With KEIM Lignosil-Verano, a silicate-based surface treatment has been developed that simulates a naturally beautiful, patinised wood appearance from the very first day. As a result of consciously leaving out the protective function which is usually desirable in coatings, the applied Lignosil-Verano coat increasingly changes to natural colour over the course of time.

KEIM Lignosil-Verano
KEIM Lignosil-Verano is a silicate colouring stain for limited dimensionally stable and non-dimensionally stable exterior wood components. KEIM Lignosil-Verano simulates a greyed, patinated surface, as it results from several years of weathering on natural wood. KEIM Lignosil-Verano is subject to natural ageing and thus equalises the visual differences that can arise from uneven weathering of exposed and protected surfaces on uncoated wood.

KEIM Lignosil-Verano is awarded with Cradle to Cradle Certified® Silver and C2C Certified Material Health Certificate™ Gold.
