Wooden Floor Staining, Colouring And Whitewashing

Amazing Choice Of Colours

There is an incredible variety of stains available on the market, but your options will be based on what flooring you currently have. Hardwood and Softwood react very differently to staining as well as the type of hard or soft wood you have.

Some stains are designed to give natural-looking results while others are completely artificial like white-washing, greens, reds, yellows and almost blacks etc. At AFS we can show you the range of colours for your existing floor and help you choose the right one.

Know Your Flooring – Hard v Soft

Hardwoods like oak and walnut absorb stain evenly, enhancing the natural grain. Softwoods like pine and fir, however, can absorb stains unevenly, leading to blotchy results if not treated properly. Knowing your wood type ensures a smooth, flawless finish so just get in touch and we can advise.

Things To Consider When Choosing A Colour

Much like painting your walls, your colour choice will have many knock-on effects. Drastically changing the colour is quite a big decision so requires some careful thought. The most common things to consider are:

• Dark Colours – Darker stains will make a room look smaller but will hide more dirt
• Light Colours – Lighter stains will make a room look bigger but will hide less dirt
• Complementary? – Whether the colour is complementary to the rest of the rooms colours like walls and furniture etc

Don’t worry, using our vast 25-plus years of experience AFS will help guide you in choosing the right colour to stain your floors.
