Linseed paint has protected wood and iron for centuries. Yet with the rise of petrochemical paints, much of the industry has moved away from traditional materials that were once trusted for their durability, sustainability, and performance.
This book explores why linseed paint still matters today. Written for architects, decorators, restoration professionals, and DIY users, it explains what linseed paint is, how it is made, how it works, and why it plays such an important role in preserving historic buildings. It also looks at its potential to reduce microplastics, support more sustainable building practices, and provide a practical, step-by-step guide for applying linseed paint to a range of surfaces.
