Pall-X Pure Lacquer: The Bare Wood Effect for a Timeless Look

The Pall-X Pure system from Pallmann is designed for those who love freshly sanded wood’s natural, untouched appearance. This finish often called the “bare wood effect,” “raw wood effect,” or “naked wood effect,” is made possible through the addition of white pigment to the lacquer. Unlike clear lacquers, which tend to darken the wood and give it an orange hue over time, Pall-X Pure preserves the light, fresh tones of newly sanded wood, delivering a clean, modern aesthetic.

Why Do Clear Lacquers Darken Wood?

To understand the value of Pall-X Pure, it’s important to recognise why traditional clear lacquers change the wood’s appearance. Imagine the bright, fresh look of a newly cut tree—light and vibrant. Now, imagine rain soaking into the wood, intensifying its colours and causing it to take on a darker, orange tone. Over time, this effect becomes more pronounced, particularly with exposure to UV light. Pall-X Pure counters this natural process, maintaining the wood’s original brightness for years.

How Does the Pall-X Pure System Work?

The system consists of a coat of Pall-X 330 primer and two coats of Pall-X Pure lacquer, available exclusively in a matte finish.

  • Primer Options: Pall-X 330 comes in two variants:
    • Pure Primer: Enhances the natural brightness of wood and prevents yellowing.
    • White Primer: Specifically designed for older pine floorboards, this variant counteracts the tendency of these floors to darken under clear finishes, creating a consistent, ‘pure’ aesthetic.

This combination ensures a highly durable, beautiful finish that protects your floors while preserving their natural appearance.

Why Choose Pall-X Pure?

  • Aesthetic Excellence: The matte finish maintains the wood’s natural look and hides minor imperfections, making it ideal for well-loved floors.

  • Tailored Results: The option to combine Pure or White primer with the lacquer allows you to customise the finish to suit different types of wood, especially older or more challenging surfaces.
