About Linseed Oil


Linseed oil, derived from flax seeds, offers remarkable protective qualities to wood and other surfaces.

Rather than sitting on top of the surface, linseed oil deeply penetrates and fills the pores of wood, strengthening and stabilizing from the inside out. This deep saturation and strong bond extends the lifetime of the coated surface.

Linseed oil stabilizes wood by reducing its ability to expand, contract, or warp in response to environmental changes. By penetrating the wood's fibers, it fills small pores and gradually hardens, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. This barrier slows down the wood's rate of moisture absorption and increases the rate it releases moisture. This protects it from swelling, shrinking, or cracking that commonly occurs due to rapid humidity fluctuations.
