For indoors and outdoors, less costly and more durable than conventional plastic paints. While helping friends renovate their 19th century villa in Sweden a few years ago, I was introduced by them to this amazing Linseed Oil Paint that I had never heard of before in New Zealand! After painting a couple of rooms in their house with the Linseed Oil Paint and became very interested in it and then beg
an my mission to bring this great product back to the New Zealand market. Ekopaints now sells Ottosson Linseed Oil Paint exclusively in New Zealand, which is produced in Sweden. It comes in a range of outdoor and indoor paints, and in a wonderful and original range of colours. The paints Ekopaints sells are made from linseed oil and pigment, nothing else, so it is sustainable, renewable and non-toxic, so it is great for the Environment. Linseed oil paint soaks into wood and plaster surfaces so it provides a far better protection that conventional paints like Acrylic that only stick to the surface. There is no need for primers with our paint and brushes are easily to clean and keep in tip-top shape by cleaning with linseed oil. By volume linseed oil paint is slightly more expensive than conventional paint, but because it is organic the molecules in the paint stretch much more than conventional paint (which are basically plastic molecules). This means our paint can be applied alot thinner, which means it spreads 2 to 3 times further, so our paint works out to be 50% less in cost than conventional paints! Being non-toxic, our paint is also great to work with and it provides a non-toxic environment to living in. Linseed Oil Paint is also a breeze to maintain because after it fades (in 4 to 5 years), it can brought back to its original sheen by simple painting over it with linseed oil!
