  17. MaterialKEIM Lignosil-VeranoKEIM 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.
