Auro paints at The Fold®
The Fold® is your local regional distributor for Auro paints. Auro paints are manufactured to some of the highest environmental standards in the industry; for bonding agents, vegetable raw materials are used exclusively. All paints are water based and where products, such as wood preservatives, require solvent, orange oil is used.
Even their production is managed in an ecologically sound manner at the certified carbon neutral factory. Where possible Auro collect rainwater for use in manufacture and one of the main ingredients in the range, linseed oil, is all produced within 30km of the factory, from predominately organic sources.
None of this comes at a cost to performance however and they still provide excellent quality, as well as a safe, chemical free environment. Most of the painting, oiling and waxing in the ecoCafé and WholeHealth have been done with Auro products, so why not come down and see them in action.
