Linseed Oil Paint 1L

Linseed oil paint is the material that painted sash windows for three centuries before modern acrylics arrived. It is not a thicker, slower alternative to emulsion — it is a fundamentally different kind of paint. The binder is cold-pressed linseed oil, the pigments are traditional earth colours, and the finish builds in microscopically thin layers that penetrate the wood rather than sit on it.

The practical consequences: it takes longer to apply, cures in 24 to 48 hours rather than minutes, and needs thinner coats than you are used to. In return, it will outlast any modern paint by a factor of five or more, and when the time comes to refresh it, you simply scrape the loose top layer and apply a fresh coat. No stripping, no primer, no filling.

One litre covers approximately 12m² at the recommended thin-coat rate.
