Wood Staining
 

Wood floor staining is the process of applying a coloured pigment or dye to the surface of a wood floor to alter its colour. Staining can enhance the natural beauty of the wood, change its appearance to match a desired aesthetic, or provide protection against UV damage. Stains come in various colours and opacities, allowing for customisation to suit the homeowner's preferences. Before staining, the wood floor is typically sanded to remove any existing finish and to create a smooth surface for the stain to adhere to. Once applied, the stain is left to penetrate the wood for a certain amount of time before excess is wiped away. Finally, a protective finish such as polyurethane is often applied over the stained wood to seal and protect it from wear and tear.
