Wood Staining vs Wood Paint
Wood staining is comprised of a colorant that is dissolved in an agent to achieve the desired color finish. This means that the stain is not a substance that can blanket the surface and hide imperfections. Rather, the staining process allows the grain patterns to be visible and even enhances the features when applied. The stain fills in any grooves and ridges on the wood. Because a wood stain enhances the visibility of scratches and grains, it is important to make sure the wooden surface is sanded to remove any scratches that may be unappealing to the finished results.
Wood Stain Finish
FCI Painting works toward a flawless result. Sealers and other finishes may be used on the wooden surface to provide the best outcome, depending on what the client is looking for. There are also stains available in a one-step process with the sealer already included. Usually the drying time for wood stain can be around 10-30 minutes, depending on the size of the surface. It is important to note that a wood staining will only add color to wood and will not protect the wood. A final coating of varnish may be recommended. FCI Painting works closely with clients to provide a commendable service that leaves clients satisfied.
