Staining the wood in your home is a fantastic way to bring out the rich tones and textures. We use a variety of stains and methods of application depending on your project. Learn about the types of stains and application methods below.

Stains:

• Oil-based stains: This type of stain penetrates deep into the wood and provides a durable finish.

• Water-based stains: This type of stain dries quickly, is easy to clean up, and provides a consistent color.

• Gel stains: This type of stain is thick and can be used to create a uniform color on rough or porous wood.

• Semi-transparent stains: This type of stain allows the grain and texture of the wood to show through while providing a hint of color.

• Solid-color stains: This type of stain covers the wood completely, hiding its grain and texture.

Application Methods:

• Brush: A brush is used to apply the stain to the surface of the wood. This method is best for small or intricate projects.

• Rag: A rag is used to wipe the stain onto the wood. This method is best for large surfaces and for creating a uniform look.

• Spray: A spray bottle or spray gun is used to apply the stain to the surface of the wood. This method is best for large projects and for applying an even coat of stain.
