Plant Based Paint


Brouns & Co Linseed Oil Paint is created from linseed oil from the flax plant mixed with naturally-formed pigments. It is a natural product that contains only trace elements of VOCs. This traditional paint is used in many historical settings but is equally suitable for modern properties and is very popular on Scandinavian wooden buildings. Read more...

Why Use Linseed Paint 

 

Linseed Oil Paint has been used for centuries quite simply because it works so well at protecting the substrate, as well as being able to accept pigments in order to create a good aesthetic appearance. Historically it would have contained lead for anti-mold properties but this harmful ingredient has been replaced with a combination of the natural ingredient of zinc and titanium white which works just as well.

Durable Long Lasting Paint System

 

Linseed oil paint protects against all weathers with fantastic wicking properties, enabling the evaporation of moisture, instead of trapping it under an impermeable film. Once it has been painted, wood won’t rot and iron won’t rust.

In Scandinavia, which has a long tradition of using linseed paint, original coats of linseed paint have survived on houses that are several centuries old.

Historically Accurate Colours


The Brouns & Co Exterior Range of colours are all historically accurate based on colours used for centuries.

Production

 

Not all linseed paint is the same. For the highest possible quality and durability, all Brouns & Co paint is made using triple roller mills only. This traditional manufacturing process creates a beautifully homogenous consistency, which forms the basis for the final paint colours.

Linseed Oil
Usually late spring, the flax is ready to be harvested and the seeds get pressed to extract the raw linseed oil. The purity of this oil is part of the key to produce high quality paint. Brouns & Co ensure they use the purest of oils for their paint. The oil is also produced in various forms to use for thinning the paint or for wood treatments, find out more..
