Harmony in wood – with ADLER’s Legno Smart-Öl

With the new Legno Smart-Öl from ADLER, it is now even easier to design wood in the most beautiful shades and to develop and implement harmonious color concepts.

Wood is so beautiful. And so versatile. Whether as a small table, cupboard front or parquet floor, window frame or wall cladding - the sustainable material always looks good. It's not just spruce, oak, walnut & Co. that bring variety into the home - with its wide range of coatings, Austria's leading paint manufacturer ADLER extends the design and combination possibilities almost to infinity. ADLER is now scaling the Olympus of surface variety with the new Legno Smart-Öl: Fortuna, Kronos, Artemis & Co. provide robust, resistant surfaces in the most beautiful shades even more quickly and easily!

Triple the inspiration

ADLER has put together three new inspiration boards to show how different wood elements can be combined in coordinated color tones to create an elegant home design: The "Crimson Flame" collage makes a strong statement and shows how different the same types of wood can come across: A round oak table top has been given an intense, dark brown look with Legno Smart-Öl in the color "Artemis" - and that's not all! The new 2K high-solids oil guarantees long-lasting, high-quality protection with just one application. It is therefore also ideal for parquet flooring - here, the natural beauty of the oak was enhanced with the colorless version. The trio is completed by an oak element that has been finished with Arova Flex stain in the dark gray shade Gneiss and coated with Bluefin Unistar G10 matt water-based varnish. A surface in a rough concrete look (ADLER Betoneffekt Daiquiri and Bluefin Top Antiscratch G10) is particularly suitable as a modern accent. Matching additions are not only the wine-red background in the color “Mein Herz" from the ADLER 1200 fan, but also a strong black (Alpine daw) and fresh green (mountain pine) from the ADLER Alpine Selection. The sparkling effects of ADLER's Brilliant Metallic collection are ideal for details and accessories.

Twilight of the gods

The "Arctic Dawn" collage, on the other hand, is presented in a bright, Nordic style. The "Fortuna" shade of Legno Smart-Öl gives the oak kitchen front a cool, understated look. As a contrast, walnut wood is accentuated even more richly and evenly with the Arova Classic stain in the shade “Nussbaum Dunkel". This is joined once again by a concrete element - this time, however, with Bluefin Pure Concrete in the sprayable water-based version. "Hüttenzauber" and "Bergsee" from the ADLER Alpine Selection provide heavenly splashes of color.

On the right track

The popular trend woods walnut and oak are also the ingredients for "Rustic Trail": the oak parquet, which is colorless oiled with Legno Smart oil (and therefore also wonderfully non-slip), goes perfectly with walnut wood, which is protected by the Bluefin Softmatt water-based varnish, but still looks as if it has not been treated. A deep black window invites you to enjoy the view of nature: For this, spruce was given ultimate durability with the Aquawood Diamond window coating system from ADLER. The soft shades of “Mistel" & “Herzgespann" harmoniously round off the natural outdoor character.
