STAINING
SERVICE OVERVIEW
Staining wood floors is a process of applying a colored pigment or dye to the surface of the wood to alter its natural color or enhance its natural beauty. Staining can be done on both new and existing floors and is typically done after sanding and applying a protective finish.
Here are the general steps involved in staining wood floors:
1. Preparation: The room is cleared of all furniture and objects, and the flooring is sanded to create a smooth and even surface. The room is then cleaned thoroughly to remove all dust and debris.
2. Selection of Stain: A stain is selected based on the desired color and finish of the flooring. It is important to select a stain that is compatible with the type of wood and the finish that will be applied.
3. Application: The stain is applied to the floor using a brush, roller, or sprayer. The stain is typically applied in thin, even coats and allowed to dry completely before applying additional coats.
4. Drying: The stain is allowed to dry completely before applying a protective finish. The drying time can vary depending on the type of stain and the humidity in the room.
5. Finishing: Once the stain is dry, a protective finish is applied to the flooring. The finish can be a clear coat of Oil Base or Water Base and it can be applied in Matte, Satin, Semi-Gloss, or High Gloss Finishing.
Staining wood floors is a popular way to enhance the natural beauty of the wood and create a unique look in any room. It is important to hire a professional with experience in staining hardwood floors to ensure that the process is done correctly and the flooring looks beautiful for years to come.
