Wood Stains are colouring finishes designed to penetrate timber surfaces, enhancing or altering their natural tone while allowing the grain to remain visible. Unlike paints, stains soak into the wood fibres, providing rich, even colour and long-lasting depth without covering the natural texture.
Key Characteristics:
-
Enhances Grain: Highlights and enriches the natural beauty of wood while adding colour.
-
Variety of Shades: Available in a wide range of tones from natural woods to bold decorative colours.
-
Penetrating Formula: Absorbs into the wood fibres for durable, lasting colour that resists fading.
-
Finish Options: Can be used alone or under clear finishes such as varnishes, lacquers, or oils.
-
Versatility: Suitable for furniture, flooring, cabinetry, doors, and decorative woodworking projects.
Common Uses:
-
Furniture: Adding depth and colour to tables, chairs, and cabinets before sealing.
-
Flooring: Colouring hardwood floors to achieve the desired tone before finishing.
-
Joinery: Staining doors, trims, and mouldings to match furniture or flooring.
-
Restoration: Refreshing faded or unevenly coloured wood surfaces.
