CREATE AN OASIS OF NATURE AND HEALTH!
Since 2006, UKU’s natural materials have helped create nature-inspired and harmonious living environments, built on tradition and years of research and testing.
Reusable
You can create a unique and lasting home while knowing that your choices are not harming the planet. For example, the clay plaster on the wall can be reused in another room or residence. So you can say that you can take your plaster with you when you move.
Compostable
UKU plasters and paints do not require special conditions for disposal. After use, the leftover mixture can be returned to nature, as our products are made of natural materials that do not harm the environment and create harmony between home, nature and people.
Chemical and VOC free
The plasters and paints produced by UKU are 100% natural, made from clay or lime. This means that they do not contain any chemicals or VOCs, ensuring a clean and healthy indoor climate in every home.

Resources for the Future
At the Tallinn Architecture Biennale (TAB), Saviukumaja highlights the importance of traditional and locally sourced natural materials by contributing to Déchelette Architecture’s project, which focuses on local natural building materials and techniques.
The installation, “,” offered an immersive experience where visitors moved among rammed-earth columns combined with metal and wood fragments. Each column produced sounds that reflected the materials used, creating a rhythmic and sensory experience in the space.
The project blended ancient materials and techniques with industrial elements, showcasing the potential of natural materials and traditional craftsmanship in the future of carbon-free architecture.
Marko Kikas, founder of Saviukumaja, was pleased to contribute the rammed-earth mixture for the installation, seeing materials like clay and lime increasingly recognized and used by architects as legitimate, traditional, and natural building resources.

🎺 Celebrating Reed: Nature’s Sustainable Marvel!
Reed is more than just a plant—it’s a testament to nature’s ingenuity, offering unmatched versatility and sustainability. Did you know that 5 cm of reed provides the same insulation capacity as 9 cm of wood? A remarkable natural advantage to ponder! 🌿
At UKU, we honor this extraordinary resource with sustainable harvesting by the shores of Lake Võrtsjärv. Using time-honored methods, we craft reed boards by sewing the stalks together with metal wire—a technique that preserves a unique heritage while embracing ecological responsibility.
Why Choose Reed Boards?
• Serve as a durable insulation base for natural plasters like clay and lime, making them ideal for eco-conscious building projects.
• Perfect for decorative interior design applications.
✨ A special recognition to reed master Andrus Sepp (Järveroog) for his dedication and expertise in keeping this traditional craftsmanship alive. His work reflects the true artistry of this natural wonder.

UKU natural plasters, putties, and paints have been gliding under our team's trowels and brushes for over 10 years. UKU plasters are environmentally friendly and do not burden nature. By using UKU materials, you can be sure to find only pure nature there. Do a simple test yourself: when mixed, the natural plaster does not harden when left standing in a bucket. Being familiar with finishing on a daily basis, it is no secret how important it is to have fast access to materials. When it comes to UKU materials, we can only sing praises and send them towards Mooste. UKU's great achievement can be considered bringing fine finishing plasters to Estonia, starting from 2011. This provides balance and availability, instead of unattainably high-priced imported plasters. Thanks to a domestic manufacturer, fine finishing plasters are easily accessible, and the quality of all plastering work has grown exponentially.
