Why is Allbäck linseed oil paint the best choice for wooden surfaces?
When choosing paint suitable for wooden surfaces, it is important to consider the product's quality, its long-term impact on human health, and the environment. Allbäck linseed oil paints are manufactured in Sweden and have been tested for over 30 years in the harshest Nordic weather conditions. They offer consistent quality and an ecological composition. Unlike synthetic paints that form a film on the surface, linseed oil paints penetrate deeply into the wood, providing long-lasting protection. They allow the wood to "breathe," preventing moisture accumulation, which in the long term protects the wood from damage.
Main advantages of choosing Allbäck linseed oil paints:
- 100% natural and environmentally friendly composition: The paints do not contain solvents, synthetic additives, or other harmful substances, making them a safe choice for both interior and exterior use. They are suitable for children's rooms, furniture, and surfaces that come into contact with food.
- Long-lasting durability and protection: Thanks to the paint's deep penetration into the wood pores, it does not crack or peel. It provides long-lasting protection for wood against UV radiation and moisture, while highlighting its natural texture.
- Economical consumption: One liter of Allbäck linseed oil paint can cover up to 15–25 m², which is significantly more than with synthetic industrial paints.
- Easy renovation: There is no need to sand or completely remove the old paint. Simply clean the surface and apply a new coat— this saves both time and resources.
- Wide range of shades and broad application: More than 30 shades available—suitable for both new and historic buildings. The paints are used in restoration projects worldwide. They are suitable for wood, metal, and plaster surfaces.
Recommendations for longer service life:
To ensure maximum protection, we recommend adding natural zinc oxide (ZnO) to the paint for exterior use. This enhances protection against UV rays and wear. For surfaces exposed to direct weather conditions, it is recommended to prime with cold-pressed linseed oil before painting.
What to pay attention to
The color shade may vary depending on lighting and the type of wood, so we recommend performing a test application before painting a larger area.
