CartHere’s How to Choose a Stain for Every Home Improvement Project
Stain brings out the beauty of wood. It can highlight natural wood, emphasize its grain or even transform it with a new colour. From indoor cabinetry and hardwood flooring to outdoor furniture and decking, stain can enhance and protect your wood. Here’s how to choose the right product for all your home improvement projects.
Interior vs. Exterior Stain
Stain penetrates wood to enhance its grain and colour, and to protect it from dust and moisture. When picking stain for any wood project, start by selecting between interior or exterior formulas. Here’s how the two compare.
Beautify your home – indoors and out – with our full range of BeautiTone Wood-Shield stains, exclusive to Home Hardware.
Types of Wood Stain
Interior and exterior wood stains are available in oil- and water- based formulas. Oil-based stains offer unsurpassed durability and ease of use, while water-based stains excel in environmental friendliness and ease of cleanup. Here’s what you need to know.
Wood Preservatives
Wood preservatives help wood look great and last longer. Finishes and sealers protect stain colour and wood grain from moisture, UV light and even minor scuffs and scratches. Here are some products that you can use with — or, in some cases, instead of — wood stain.
