Auson Black Brown Tar contains both black and brown pigments, giving a softer and warmer tone than the deep Black Tar. We call Black Brown the “architect’s choice”, and it’s easy to see why. It gives the façade a sophisticated look, while maintaining a natural and harmonious appearance. The protection against rot and drying out is the same as for all our Pine tar paints. This softer black color is suitable for modern wooden houses, but of course also for fences, boathouses and wooden roofs. For inspiration on how it can look, check out Villa Timmerman in Askim, where a modern architect-designed house has been painted with Pine tar paint. You can use Auson Black Brown Tar on untreated wood and on wood that has previously been treated with distemper paint, tar or iron vitriol.

As our Tar products penetrate the wood, they take the pigment with them. This results in a durable color that not only protects the wood from the elements, but also preserves its natural beauty. The surface becomes durable and the color stays where it should. Our Tar products prevent drying and cracking by being both water resistant and creating a flexible surface that can move with the natural expansion of the wood. They protect the wood from moisture and temperature changes, reducing the risk of cracking. Our Tar also provides protection against UV radiation that can dry out the wood.

You never need to prime when you choose one of our products. Our tar products give a result that lasts a long time, 6-8 years depending on the application. Maintenance intervals become longer with each coat of tar, as each coat provides increased protection.
