Do what the castle architect did at Castle of Versailles – paint your 3000 windows with Allbäck solvent-free linseed oil paint.

Solvents are harmful to health and highly toxic. The myth of linseed oil paint needing solvents to absorb into the tree, is not true. Allbäck linseed oil paint is completely solvent-free and thinners are not used when painting. The paint production utilises ecology and painting chemistry, which has been in use since the 17th century. The production takes place under modern conditions and the raw materials are carefully selected.

After years of oil paint tests, Versaille Castle decided to paint the windows with Allbäck linseed oil paint. This decision was aimed at getting rid of modern paints that destroy windows. Over the past 20 years or so, windows have more damage due to false paint choices compared to the 200-year period when genuine linseed oil paint was used in the windows. The idea is to reintroduce old knowledge and skill, choose an option that works for hundreds of years! Now the windows of Versaille are saturated with heated raw linseed oil and re-painted with linseed oil paint – Allbäck flax oil paint.
If you care about your health and the environment, avoid using solvents and thinners. Rakennusapteekki sells waxes and paints without solvents: Allbäck linseed oil paint, Linus roof and wall paint, Falu Rödfärg and Hanko Color red ochre paint.
