The Basics of Commercial Staining
Stain is a finishing material for wood that penetrates the wood and adds color to the surface and a protecting layer. Stain is great for both indoor and outdoor projects but is commonly used for fences, decks and railing. Roe Painting recommends staining projects be redone every 3-5 years based on use, exposure and type of material. When staining decks and fences it is recommended that a semi-solid or solid body stain is utilized. These specific stain types help to protect the wood from the sun and other elements that will aid in its decay.
Wood Railings
Wooden railing, handrails and decks need to be properly maintained to ensure they are functional and safe. When stain is applied to the wood it helps to lock out moisture and damage which can cause weak spots, rot and splinters. Staining isn’t just about preserving the wood, it also can be a great way to add style to your deck or fence. Stain colors are a great way to incorporate your deck into the color scheme of your restaurant, business or store front.
Interior Staining
Interior woodworking can also be stained to help finish off a space or add some interior design elements. Stained beams look beautiful in a winery tasting room, stained baseboards are a great option for high traffic space to camouflage scuffs from heavy foot traffic. Staining of interior trims has also become popular for accent walls and are a great way to incorporate intricate woodworking into your design style. Color choices for interior painting projects are extensive and there is bound to be a stain color that works well for your design style.
Staining Previously Painted Wood
Some materials can be properly removed and stained over while others cannot. Acrylic paints are easier to fully remove and the remover is not harmful to the area that surrounds a deck or staircase. Oil based paints are nearly impossible to fully remove and require harsh chemicals. Staining over an oil based paint is not advised because it is nearly impossible to remove all the oil from the pores of the wood. This applies to both interior and exterior staining projects.
