Interior wood treatments<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wood<\/strong> indoors is not just a building material. It is texture, warmth, visual and acoustic comfort. It is floor, table, door, staircase or cladding. And, like every living material, it needs protection.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we talk about traditional treatments, one word always comes up: linseed oil<\/strong>. But is it still the best option today? What advantages does it have? What limitations does it present? And, above all, what alternatives now exist that respect the wood\u2026 and the air we breathe inside the home? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s take it step by step. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linseed oil: a classic with centuries of history<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Linseed oil<\/strong> is obtained from flax seeds and has been used as a wood protector <\/strong>for centuries. As early as the Middle Ages it was used to protect furniture, joinery and timber structures, and for centuries it was the usual indoor treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why?<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Because it penetrates deeply, nourishes the fibre and creates a light protective film that enhances the grain and natural colour. It is a simple product, natural in origin and easy to apply.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a long time it was the available solution. But being traditional does not mean it is the most suitable option today. <\/p>\n\n\n
