Green tarred house in Saltsjöbaden

The house is scenically located on Älgö in Saltsjöbaden just a few hundred meters from the sea. Älgö is a small island that is connected to the mainland by a bridge, previously the area was a summer cottage area but has in recent years been transformed into year-round housing.

– We had a few options to choose from when we were going to paint the house, but when the Green Star appeared, we were immediately enchanted. It fit so well with our wooden windows and in a forest environment as our plot is a bit of a nature plot.

Christer goes on to say that the whole house was painted in about two days with two coats by 4 people.

– Many people think the house is absolutely stunning, and of course it stands out because the color is strong both in sunlight and in cloudy weather. We have received many comments that it is beautiful and have even had visits from some architects who have wanted to look at the color.

What are you most satisfied with?

The tar provides good protection but you can still see the grain of the wood very clearly, it also smells so good when you paint.

What three arguments would you give to someone else thinking about painting with Green Tar?

Wood tar comes from the forest, feels much fresher than a plastic paint / chemical concoction
It has a huge luster that is missing in traditional paint
It looks alive in the facade, you can clearly see the wood fibers and the grain in the wood and that it is slightly shifting, a little difficult to explain without seeing it.
