Varmbadhuset (Warm baths)
In cooperation with the museum in Kristianstad we have recreated the original nationally romantic colour scheme from 1872. This is the building housing the baths at Torekov which has been painted using linseed oil paints both outside and inside. The painting was carried out by Kurt Lundströms Måleri AB, Ängelholm.
Nybroplan Stockholm
Large 19th century property. Originally painted with linseed oil paint on the lime plasterwork. Restored to present condition in 2004.
Painted with three applications of linseed oil paint. 700 litres were required.
The high precision work was carried out by Mälarputs AB.
The project organiser was Teknisk Målerikonsult Sven-Olof Hjort.
Private residence in Saltsjöbaden, Stockholm
The shade of colour was specially designed for the house. The colour has been named “Nicotine”.
Ulriksdals värdhus (restaurant)
The paint used here was designed and mixed on site in collaboration with the architect and the painting company involved. White Titanium Zinc, 786 Green Umber and Chromium Oxide Green were the shade used. On-site mixing greatly increases the chances of obtaining the optimal aesthetic result.
The room
The wall areas are painted using AURO natural resin paint tinted with iron oxide yellow pigment. The white woodwork is painted using our Antique White linseed oil paint. The grey window panels have also been painted using linseed oil paint.
The room is in Lund.
Wooden building 1920
This house in Småland was repainted in 1993 using our linseed oil paints. The façade area of the house measuring 250 sq. m. was given two applications. The total area of 500 sq. m. only required 24 litres of paint!
The paint was sufficient to cover 21 sq. m. per litre! When considering price always calculate it per square metre.
Wall varnishing
This warm yellow wall has been varnished using Färgbygges Bivaxlasyr (beeswax varnish). AURO natural resin paint was used as the white primer. The wall has been varnished 5 times using different yellow colour pigments. The chimney piece has maintained its white natural resin paint colour. The paintwork was carried out by Gunnar Ottosson.
Stairway
Linseed oil paint can of course be applied on plaster surfaces. For the renovation work on the old school building in Malmö during its transformation to student residence Xantippa, the objective was to use original types of paint. The building was constructed in the nineteen fifties. Linseed oil paint was often used on stairways as it gave a more durable surface.
The work was carried out by Målericompagniet in Malmö.
French windows
This is a detail from a newly built residence. The grey façade is only one application of specially mixed linseed oil paint. An excess of linseed oil was used in the paint so that the amount of oil would be sufficient to both penetrate the wood substrate and give a matt finish. The windows have been painted using three applications of our Falu Red linseed oil paint.
Mazetti

Wooden boat
The owner of this wooden boat dating from 1923 used 10 applications of raw linseed oil. The oil was allowed to dry for 3 weeks after which 3 applications of our white linseed oil paint were used from the waterline upwards (according to our directions for outdoor application). We received the following comment: “Unbelievably economical paint. I bought 2 litres but only used 0.5 litres for 3 applications x 10 sq.m!”.
