You’ve probably heard of wood staining but may not know exactly what it is or its various benefits. Wood stain is a type of paint used to color wood and can add character by emphasizing its appearance.
If you have wood paneling, flooring, or finishes in your home or business, wood staining has many benefits that will help elevate and preserve its appearance. That’s why we’ve put together a list of reasons why wood staining is the right choice for you.
Here are some ways wood staining can elevate your home business:
- Preserve the Natural Look
- Protection from Sun and Moisture
- Cost Efficient
Preserve the Natural Look
Wood stains penetrate the wood grain which creates a clear seal on top and highlights the natural look of the wood instead of masking it. Depending on the wood you have and your preferences, stains are available in solid, semitransparent, and clear colors along with various options for tinting.
Protection from Sun and Moisture
One of the major benefits of using a wood stain is that it makes the wood waterproof. As wood both inside and outside your home or business may regularly come in contact with water, this will prevent the wood from staining and prevent any rotting that could potentially occur from constant contact with water. This is especially important if you live in a cold climate where frozen water or large amounts of snow could cause the wood to break over time. It also prevents any discoloration that would naturally occur over time if it’s an area that gets a lot of sun.
Cost Efficient
Along with preserving the wood and protecting it from weather, wood staining is very cost-efficient. The wood in your home or business will last longer and prevent the need to have rotten, stained, or splintered wood replaced which can be very costly.
