Old Wood Refractive Ground

Refractive Ground deeply protects and illuminates the wood.

It is a transparent amber compound that provides a refractive index similar to wood. For that reason it enhances and highlights to the maximum the light refractive process generating an “optical effect of depth” on the wood’s surface, developing a “permanent wet effect” on the annual rings, as well as on their resinous and amorphous formations.

Its optimum penetration in the superficial layer of the wood avoids the saturation of the fibres, achieving an incomparable luminosity in depth.
