HOLKHAM LINSEED PAINTS
LONG-LASTING COST-EFFECTIVE SOLVENT-FREE PAINTS

THE FIG AND PEACH HOUSES, HOLKHAM KITCHEN GARDENS (Samuel Wyatt 1872)


	The majority of the woodwork, although appearing to be in a bad state, has been preserved because of the quality of the 19th Century Scandinavian pine and linseed oil and paint used on it more than seventy years ago.	Before renovation October 2000

The Interior of the glasshouse showing existing lead based linseed paint. This paint was last applied over 70 years ago in the 1930s.

Holkham Raw Linseed Oil is applied and then warmed using a heat gun. This ensures the oil penetrates into the wood effectively, and any old paint can be scraped off. It is important to strip back to the bare wood before applying Holkham Linseed Paints. (February 2001).
