Why Use Linseed Paint?

Used for centuries Linseed Oil Paint is chosen due to its effectiveness in protecting surfaces and its ability to accept pigments for an attractive finish. Historically, it contained lead for its anti-mold properties, but this harmful ingredient has been replaced by a combination of natural zinc and titanium white, which works just as effectively

Our Linseed Oil

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

Durable Long Lasting Paint System

Linseed oil paint offers protection against all weather conditions due to its excellent wicking properties, which allow moisture to evaporate rather than being trapped beneath an impermeable film. This prevents wood from rotting and iron from rusting.
