Nature's Neutrals

This year we've split our colour range into two distinctive palettes; Nature's Neutrals and Nature's Brights.

By definition, Nature's Neutrals include all of the colours you would see in the natural world, including the sky, landscape, raw materials and water. They work as the foundation to any colour scheme and any combination of these colours work well together.

For Nature's Brights, used in small amounts alongside Nature's Neutrals, they make a big impact without overwhelming a space. These are the accent colours associated with flowersand are perfect for adding pops of bolder colour to garden furniture and decorative details.

Used together, Nature's Neutrals & Nature's Brights work in perfect harmony.

Preparation:

All surfaces should be clean and dry. If it has been previously coated, loose, flaking paint should be stripped back to bare wood.

Test a small area first for colour and adhesion.

Colour:

The final colour will vary depending on the surface and number of coats. If adhesion is inadequate on previous coatings, lightly sand before application. Make sure wood has been pre treated with appropriate wood preserver to prevent wood and decay.

Apply in dry conditions, above 5 degrees Celsius and when bad weather is not forecast, minimum of 2 coats required.

Brush:

Stir thoroughly, before and during use. Brush on product, evenly, along the grain.

Spray:
