Questions for Andreas Martin, Product Manager for enamels and stains

In addition to optimum protection, the large number of various colours of our Capadur stains offer you fantastic design opportunities. Design variety today in modern and traditional wood architecture extends from classic natural wood shades to highly vivid tinted colours, as well as shiny silver stains in finest shades of grey. If, as is the case with modern architectural design, you wish to make use of natural, grey shades of colour, the Capadur GreyWood and Capadur SilverStyle are perfect to follow this trend. These two products offer exciting colours for natural and versatile design. Whether nuanced shades of grey in various tones or sophisticated metallic coatings. Let yourself be inspired by the individual designs of a natural wood architecture.

Nuanced naturalness with our Capadur GreyWood product line:

Inspired by the natural greying of wood, GreyWood provides the desired look and also protects the wood. With minutely differing nuances, various emotions are stimulated – in combination with its extraordinary, never bore seen appearance, GreyWood offers entirely new design opportunities.

Naturally grey colours for wood are in extremely high demand. Copying the natural process of greying is a highly complex process. Common pigments do not provide satisfying results to copy the various and lively effects of naturally greyed wood, which in nature is rendered by sunlight. In order to precisely capture the liveliness of the wooden surface and an absolute natural appearance, we make use of special effect pigments for GreyWood. Behind the name GreyWood there is therefore a silver-grey colour with various colour tints: grey-grey, grey-blue, grey-yellow, grey-red and grey-green. A gentle touch of red is enough to give the grey colour a warm touch and a hint of blue produces a cooler result and green a fresher one. The achieved emotional effect differs per shade of grey, as the very slightest colour nuances cause an extraordinary and visually appealing change in the colour grey.

Noble metallic understatement with our product line Capadur SilverStyle:

SilverStyle combines the exciting contrast between natural wood grain and sophisticated metallic look. An extravagant and bold coating. Vibrant moments lend the result a noble flair and an interesting appearance. What has never before been possible is now a reality with Caparol SilverStyle. Wooden facades and surfaces with effective metallic coating. The combination of SilverStyle with the natural grain of the wood opens up refined, unexpected perspectives in design and can be used for exteriors as well as interiors.
