In social networks, the question is often asked which of the products to choose, linseed oil stain or linseed oil paint?
Both of these Paint Eco products are natural. These coatings do not form a film, are air permeable with good moisture repellency and relatively high abrasion resistance. A surface treated with this type of oil is easy to restore. Since these oils contain mineral pigments, they have increased protection against the sun's UV rays. Both tinted oils can be used both for interior and exterior work. Evaluating the surface to be treated and observing the correct method of application and the service life of the coating, it can be said that these wood protection products are very economical in the long term.
If you want the structure of the wood to be visible, then the choice will be a stain. The mineral pigment in its composition will shade the soft fiber of the wood, while the hard fiber will be lighter. Before starting the oiling work, we recommend performing a test painting, because the intensity of the tone may differ on the surface of older wood and different sanded surfaces. The stain can also be used on a finely cut surface. Oil consumption will be higher, but in the long term, such a surface will last longer and visually look very beautiful. A stained surface can be repainted with linseed oil paint after a while, without special preparation work.
The linseed oil paint will be like a covering coating, but its service life will be even longer than that of the stain. Correct sequence of painting works: priming the surface with Linseed oil primer and two coats of the selected color shade. Linseed oil paint can be used for both interior and exterior work. It will also be useful for painting terrace boards.
Both of these coatings highlight the relief of the wood and maintain a natural live, not plastic, visual appearance.
To find the solution you want, we recommend visiting our company in Iecava, where you will have the opportunity to paint the chosen shade and receive a consultation, or order a 50ml shade tester.
