Traditional red paint

Traditional red paint is an exterior paint which has been used for several hundreds of years. Traditional red paint became popular with common folk in the 1800s, when more valuable buildings were already painted with oil paints.

Traditional red paint is made by cooking water, iron sulphate, fine rye or wheat flour and red pigment in a barrel. It lets moisture pass through preventing moisture from getting trapped in the timber.

In the Tammela yard, traditional red paint is made a few times a summer and it can also be bought.
