Painting instructions: Follow the instructions on the can or read our articles in Building Care – Do it yourself here.

Durability: Linseed oil paint ages through abrasion, chalking and weathering. Because linseed oil paint thins itself, there is no need for laborious scraping and removal with chemicals on the day you want to repaint or improve the paint. The normal span between repainting is ten to fifteen years. However, if you live in an area with a lot of moisture and other external influences or have painted with a light color, you can expect to repaint more often.

Care and storage: Unlike water-based paint, linseed oil paint can be stored in cold and frosty conditions. In a tightly sealed jar, linseed oil paint lasts virtually indefinitely. The pigment may have accumulated at the bottom and if air has entered the jar, a skin may have formed. Carefully cut around any skin and gently lift it away. Stir the remaining paint together until it is smooth and even. If the pigment has crystallized, i.e. formed small grains, you can try straining the paint through a nylon stocking. A tried and tested painting trick.

Manor yellow

Linseed oil paint manor yellow

In the 18th century, yellow became the color of the new mansions and it also became common on the plastered buildings of the cities. Of course, in the 19th century, the common wooden houses followed suit. When the color red became too common to confer status, wealthier city dwellers chose to clad their houses in wood paneling and linseed oil paint them yellow with grey details. At first, only the street facade might be painted, but eventually the whole house was painted yellow, while the outbuildings often retained their fake red color.

Traditionally, yellow houses were painted in a milder yellow color than what we often see today. With tradition in mind, we have therefore developed a manor yellow color that gives your facade a beautiful, warm and soft feeling.

Nearest NCS S 2020-Y20R. Please note that the nearest NCS for manor yellow differs slightly from the actual color. The color reproduction on the screen is also not 100% accurate. We recommend that you buy a small can of paint and try it out before you decide on a larger project.

Gulockra nature

Linseed oil paint Gulockra Natur

Classic golden yellow color that has been used unbroken for almost 300 years as a door and window color outdoors. It has the same warmth as oak. It has also been used to create the illusion of oak. It is also commonly mixed with white to give a manor yellow color (30 – 10% yellow ochre).

Our Gulockra linseed oil paint was replaced in 2017 with Gulockra natural linseed oil paint, which is made entirely from the finest earth color pigment imaginable, golden ochre from France. A linseed oil paint pigmented with genuine earth color pigments gives an extra dimension to the painted surface.

The pigment is made from clay soils that have been washed and bleached by nature itself over thousands of years and is produced in the same way today as it was hundreds of years ago. Natural clay pigments such as golden ochre and red ochre are both muted and vibrant, giving natural color tones.

If you want the same shade as previous breaks of our previous color gulockra, you should break according to the table below when breaking with Gulockra natur.

60% Gulockra = 80% Gulockra natural

30% Gulockra = 60% Gulockra natural

15% Gulockra = 30% Gulockra natural

100% it is dark gray-brown, broken with white it is warm gray. It is available in the following percentages: 2%, 7%, 15%, 30%, 60%.

When you want to paint knots and linings on wooden houses from the 18th to the 20th century, it is good to know that there was a different amount of refraction of the white color in different eras.

The most common was 30% green umber in the 18th century, giving a distinct limestone gray hue. During the 19th century, the fashion lightens and the “white” color often ended up around 15% green umber.

By the turn of the century, however, only light, soft white is the highest fashion, corresponding to 2% green umber.

Since the same colors and the same paint qualities were also painted indoors with roughly the same timetable, our ready-made paints are suitable for both indoors and outdoors. Indoors, this linseed oil paint was used on windows, carpentry, breast panels, doors and more.

Linseed oil paint youth beige

Jugendbeige is a color that was common in interiors from the 1890s to the 1930s. The color has a tendency towards ivory and can therefore easily be perceived as “impure white”, which is also the intention. In early 20th century interior painting, Jugendbeige is often combined with Jugendgrönt on panels, and the spirit of the era is further enhanced if Jugendbeige joinery paint is used in living rooms in combination with dark-bottomed paper wallpapers that are true to the period.
