Linax is a responsibly sourced, quality redwood pine that is impregnated with a copper-based agent according to UC3 and then boiled in linseed oil under vacuum.  The oil is boiled into the product. This treatment reduces moisture absorption, creates dimensional stability over time, gives protection against rot and offers long maintenance intervals which saves both time and money over time.

Linax is available in Linax Natural and Linax Brown. An additional pigment is introduced to Linax Brown during treatment, adding a tone which creates a beautiful product with character and warmth. Heartwood and sapwood absorb varying amounts of pigment, which can give rise to colour variations. Initially, some green tones may be visible from the UC3 treatment, but this will fade when Linax is installed and exposed to the weather.

Linax is highly suitable for extreme climate conditions and has excellent test results when it comes to repelling moisture. The performance of Linax treated wood is much higher and requires significantly less maintenance than ordinary pressure-treated or untreated wood.  Over time, the oil in the outermost layer is worn and washed away by rain and as with other colour-treated wood, the pigments will fade. Linax oils are required for the installation and maintenance of Linax products.
