Our Story so far
Wood has been used for thousands of years as a long-lasting and naturally beautiful material that lends elegance, charm, and sophistication to any space.
The beauty of wood is in its durability and versatility allowing for renewal of the same surface over time. With proper care, maintenance, and the ideal wood treatment solution in hand Colortone provides our customers a premium product for the perfect wood finish.
Colortone’s journey started in the cold winter of August 1997 in a tiny factory in Cape Town, South Africa. Our knowledge combined with an expert chemist team empowers us to provide the highest quality wood coatings and wood treatment solutions.
Colortone’s fledgling business has grown in leaps and bounds with a national South African distribution network and over our borders into Namibia. Over the years we have created new markets and employment opportunities as we provide only the best in premium wood finishings.
