Linen has an extraordinary number of advantages and is, and has always been, very positively regarded.
- Flax has antibacterial properties and does not cause allergic reactions – it is considered a natural antiseptic. Compared to other fabrics, linen creates the best microclimate for the skin – it is breathable, absorbs moisture well and maintains a uniform body temperature, making it suitable for all seasons.
- By absorbing up to 20% of its own weight in moisture, linen does not become wet, which is very important when using linen bed linen, linen kitchen and bath towels and linen clothing, as they reduce the amount of perspiration on the skin.
- Flax is resistant to static electricity, so it does not electrify and protects the body from ultraviolet rays and halves the effects of radiation.
- Linen is durable and strong – up to 3 times stronger and 5 times more abrasion-resistant than cotton.
- The surface of the linen fabric is coated with small, smooth, slippery hairs that help prevent dirt build-up and stains for longer.
- Unlike other fabrics, each wash only softens the linen fabric, making it whiter and less wrinkled.
- Flax is an environmentally friendly, biodegradable, waste-free product that has no harmful impact on the environment.
