Pre-Mixed Stains

Finding the perfect stain color for your hardwood floor can be a daunting task. When you’re looking through the seemingly endless colors to choose from, consider also the species of wood you’ve chosen, the amount of light and traffic in the room, and the color and style of furniture you have. It is also very important to be sure about your stain color choice, because once the stain has been applied, the only way to change it is to re-sand and re-stain the floor.

Surface Finishes

Surface finishes are durable, water-resistant coatings applied to your floor after the staining. They remain on the surface of the wood to form a protective coating.

Water-based – Clear and resistant to turning yellow over time. They are very durable.

Oil-based – Amber in color. They are very durable.

Natural oil – Can be penetrating oils or hard wax oil finishes. They penetrate the pores of the wood to achieve a durable, long-lasting finish.

Sheen

Each finish option comes in a variety of sheens. Each sheen has a different level of shine, which will impact the appearance of the floor.
