When choosing stain colors their are some simple facts one should keep in mind. Here at WoodFloorNY we aim to help you identify these facts and therefore aid you in the process of making a better and more informed desicion in choosing a proper stain color for your hardwood floors!
Species such as Cherry, Birch, Maple, Ash, and Exotic hardwood floors do not take stain colors so easily. Mostly because the pores are tight and/or the grain pattern is uneven – which in turn causes uneven stain coloring, blotchiness, and/or the wood floor will not absorb the stain color as much as other wood floor types.
Pin, Fir, and Cedar hardwood floor species should only get a light application of stain and the lighter spectrum of stain colors versus darker stain colors.
On the other hand Oak, Ash, and Chestnut take stain colors more readily because of their larger pores and stronger grain pattern.
Regardless of which floor type you have a professional can surely stain any wood floor species but with each different wood floor species comes with different challenges as you can tell.
