Wood stains are semi-transparent coatings that commonly either darken or lighten the natural tone of the wood. These enhance the woodwork's natural look and preserve the wood's grain. A wood stain penetrates the wood, meaning it preserves and protects, giving it that extra defence against weathering elements.
Woodstains are slightly different to wood paint and wood varnishes. Wood paint completely covers the wood with an opaque coating whilst wood varnish is a finish that is normally used when the grain and tones of the wood are intended to be seen.
Stains for wood are available for all kinds of both interior and exterior wood, from decking stain and fence stain for these outdoor surfaces to dark oak wood stain and light oak wood stain for interior woodwork, including passage doors and dining tables. Wood stains also come in various colours, some being off the shelf and some wood stains can be tinted as well, including with Sadolin Extra Mahogany Woodstain.
