Allbäck Zinc Oxide Additive

Bonjour,

I have been using Sage Restoration’s products, expertise and dedication to the conservation of heritage buildings for a few years now on my projects. Results are great.
I look forward to continue working with Sage Restoration to solve problems that always pop-up on projects, be it heritage or modern buildings.

Sage Restoration experts attend restoration seminars and workshops to better understand preservation techniques. It is not only a paint business, it is a resource.

We're slowly restoring our late 1800s house and used the Linseed Oil Paint in "Midnight Blue". Beautiful color and beautiful coverage on the first coat. We mixed in Zinc Oxyde with the paint and highly recommend it. We used two 3L cans per walls.

The greatest gift to our historical house has been getting products and support from Sage Restoration. Your team always makes time to discuss issues, give advice and think about solutions. It feels the Sage team is part of my restoration crew!

I have become a fervent advertiser for Sage among my friends and colleagues - I only take a 10% commission 😉

This summer, I worked on a variety of projects, one of which is the stripping of our oak front door from 1910. The door had been painted over with black paint, but some very old varnish was visible under the black paint. I primed the door with the door with Tonkinoise Bio Impression oil, and finished off with Tonkinoise Marine #1.

I re-build the door steps partly with quarter sawn oak, which I varnished. I painted the lower part of the door step with a mix of Holkham green and Black at a 1:1 ratio.

I also stripped the wrought iron gate of over a century of paint build-up and repainted it with Allback Black Linseed Oil paint. I re-set the top window with Linseed oil Putty and the reset the leaded glass with a mix of Putty, oil and iron oxide powder. This was a relatively small project but one that made a huge impact. In the meantime, the stone ornaments have been re-jointed with lime based mortar (albeit not the Sage one!).

5 Stars! 10 out of 10!

I went to Sage after a long journey learning about linseed oil paints and restoration. They were knowledgeable answering my questions regarding the putty, paint, temperatures for curing, types of oils to prime with, how to apply the oils...on and on and on. Thank you for being a source for renewable, sustainable and true restoration products in Canada.

I have been a customer of Sage restoration since 2018. Have used their paint, putty and other linseed oil products regularly, in fact daily during the week. Working with natural products can have a few more challenges, however I have received expert advice from both Michael and John and have been extremely happy with the results. For example, I had a roofer paint my steel barn roof every few years with whatever environmentally unfriendly paint he normally used. It didn't last. I convinced him to use the Allback paint and it has lasted a lot longer, and it still looks great. We have used the pine tar carried by Sage Restoration instead of using pressure treated wood which is bad for the environment. I have painted the inside of my house, our barn windows and many many projects, I could go on and on. But anyway if you care about not putting nasty chemicals onto the walls of your home or other projects, I highly recommend the products that Sage Restoration carries. As an added bonus their shipping is very quick, often the next day !!
