Where can I use Njord?
Njord opaque stain is perfectly suited for outdoor use but can also be applied indoors. The durable formula provides up to 9 years of optimal protection, making it an excellent choice for various wood projects, whether it’s garden furniture, façades, or even wooden flooring indoors. Its versatility and long-lasting quality make this stain a smart investment for all your woodwork.
Longevity of Njord Stain
The lifespan of Njord stain exceeds what you’d expect from a standard stain. Depending on the specific product, Njord lasts between 9 and 12 years. This outstanding durability ensures your wooden surfaces remain protected and beautiful, even under challenging weather conditions. Reduced maintenance frequency saves both time and money. Choosing Njord stain means opting for long-term quality and reliability.
How many coats should I apply?
We recommend always applying two coats and using Njord primer on bare wood for optimal adhesion. This guarantees the extremely long lifespan of your wood projects. The primer provides an excellent base, ensuring the stain adheres well to the wood. This enhances both the durability and the aesthetic quality of the finish. Applying two coats offers better protection against the elements and creates a deeper, richer colour, preserving the beauty and integrity of your wood, even under harsh conditions.
Will the wood grain remain visible?
The beauty of this high-quality stain is that the wood grain will remain visible, even with opaque colours. This is thanks to the special composition of Njord stain, which penetrates deeply into the wood without compromising its natural character. This way, your woodwork retains its protective features while maintaining its authentic and unique appearance. Njord stain is an ideal choice for projects where durability and aesthetics are both key.
Where does Njord originate from?
Njord stain originates from the rich Scandinavian tradition of wood craftsmanship and protection. This region, with its harsh and varying climates, has long required high-quality products to safeguard wood against the weather. The name "Njord" is inspired by the Norse god of the sea and wind, symbolising the natural forces this stain protects against. Our formulas are developed by a team of specialists with an in-depth knowledge of wood and its needs. Combining traditional methods with modern technologies, Njord offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and durable protection. Thanks to its high quality and reliability, Njord has built a strong reputation not only in Scandinavia but worldwide.
What is BIO ProtectX technology?
ProtectX technology is a groundbreaking innovation in wood protection, specifically designed to extend the life and aesthetics of wooden surfaces. It works by creating a hydrophobic film that effectively shields the wood from water penetration. This significantly reduces the growth of mould and algae, contributing to a cleaner and healthier environment for your wood projects. Additionally, ProtectX technology offers extra protection against harmful UV rays, which are often responsible for wood fading and degradation. Thanks to this advanced technology, your wood stays in perfect condition for longer, even under the most challenging weather conditions.
What colours can I order Njord in?
Njord stain can be mixed in any colour imaginable. This flexibility allows you to create the perfect look for your wood project. Whether you choose an opaque colour that completely covers the wood for a specific aesthetic or a transparent finish that showcases the natural wood grain, the possibilities are endless. Black is the most popular colour due to its modern and timeless appearance, offering a sleek and refined finish suitable for both historic and contemporary architecture. Of course, you can also select from a wide range of other colours to bring your vision to life.
What is the coverage per square metre of this product?
The coverage of Njord opaque stain is 16 m² per litre. However, we always recommend applying two coats for optimal protection. Using two layers ensures full coverage and maximum durability, keeping your woodwork protected from weather and wear. Multiple coats also enhance the colour depth and provide a neater finish, boosting the aesthetic appeal of your project. Ensure the first coat is completely dry before applying the second coat to improve adhesion and maximise the stain's effectiveness.
Which brush should I use for applying Nordic Färg?
We recommend using a specialist stain brush or a professional brush for applying Njord opaque stain. A good quality brush is essential for a smooth and efficient application. Specialised stain brushes are designed to allow the stain to penetrate deeply into the wood, maximising protection and appearance. Professional brushes often have higher quality synthetic or natural bristles that deliver a smoother finish with fewer streaks. Make sure the brush is clean and dry before you start applying the stain. This ensures the best result and keeps your wood project looking beautiful and protected for years to come.
Which paint roller should I use for Nordic Färg?
You can also apply Njord with a roller. The best choice is a microfibre roller or a specialist stain roller. These rollers are designed to evenly distribute the stain across the surface, ensuring a consistent and professional finish. Microfibre rollers offer excellent absorption and release capabilities required for smooth application, while specialist stain rollers are optimised for deep penetration into the wood. Using a roller can be particularly advantageous for larger surfaces such as façades or wooden floors, where efficiency and even coverage are key. For the best result, ensure the roller is clean and dry before starting your application.
