A matte finish for exterior timber

Colour and use VIVACOLOR Villa Akva is a water-based wood paint for outdoor timber, supplied in a 9 L container. This variant is a cocoa-toned reddish brown with a matte finish. It is listed for previously untreated, factory-primed or previously facade-painted wood, including thermally modified timber.

Details to help you plan

1. Colour and finish: The shade is described as cocoa brown with a reddish-brown tone. The finish is matte, giving you a clear colour and sheen reference when comparing it with existing exterior paintwork.
2. For exterior timber: Listed uses include exterior wood walls, cladding boards and fences. The paint is also stated to be suitable for thermally modified wood.
3. Coverage depends on the surface: For one coat, the stated coverage is 4–6 m²/l on sawn or porous wood and 7–9 m²/l on logs or planed, smooth wood. Use the figure that matches your timber when estimating how much paint you need.
4. Brush or sprayer application: Apply with a brush or sprayer. The paint is water-based; remove paint residue from tools and then wash them with water, as directed in the product information.
5. Drying and recoating: At 23°C and 50% relative humidity, the paint is touch-dry after 1 hour and a further coat can be applied after 24 hours. Drying time varies with temperature and humidity.
