  • Satin finish with a gentle glow that works in almost any room
  • Semi-gloss finish that brightens spaces and handles cleaning well
  • High-gloss finish for a dramatic shine that makes the wood look wet and rich

FAQ

How do I pick the right stain color for my wood?

Consider the natural color of your wood. Test a small area first to see how the stain looks before applying it to the whole surface.

Can I stain over paint or old finishes?

Yes, but you'll need to strip or sand off the old paint or finish before staining to ensure it sticks properly.

Should I use a sealer after staining?

Yes, applying a sealer protects the stain and keeps the wood safe from moisture and wear.
