Step-by-Step Method to Stain Wooden Floors
Preparation and Floor Assessment
We begin by conducting a thorough inspection of the floor, identifying wood type, condition, and any repairs required. Preparation is crucial for even staining.
Sanding the Floor
All existing finishes, dirt, and imperfections are removed through professional sanding. We use dust-free sanding equipment to create a smooth, clean surface ready for staining.
Cleaning and Dust Removal
After sanding, the surface must be meticulously cleaned. Any remaining dust particles can compromise the finish, so we ensure the floor is completely clear before applying stain.
Applying the Stain
Using premium-grade stains, we apply the chosen colour evenly, working with the grain to enhance the wood’s natural beauty. Depending on the desired finish, multiple coats may be applied for depth and richness.
Sealing and Finishing
Once the stain has cured, we seal the floor with high-quality protective coatings. This ensures durability, resistance to wear, and long-lasting beauty. Clients can choose between matt, satin, or gloss finishes.
Types of Wooden Floors That Can Be Stained
Oak Floors
Oak is the most popular choice for staining due to its open grain that absorbs stain evenly. It is versatile, making it ideal for both light and dark finishes.
Pine Floors
Pine is softer and more challenging to stain evenly. However, with careful preparation and professional application, pine can take on stunning rustic or contemporary tones.
Walnut Floors
Walnut naturally has a rich, dark tone. Staining enhances its luxurious finish, deepening its natural hues or giving it a more dramatic effect.
Maple Floors
Maple is known for its fine, tight grain, which can make staining tricky. We use specialised techniques to ensure even absorption and consistent colour.
Cherry Floors
Cherry wood deepens in colour naturally over time. Staining accelerates this process, enhancing its warm, reddish tones and creating a timeless look.
Engineered Wood Floors
Engineered wood can be stained, provided the top veneer is thick enough. We assess each floor before proceeding to ensure the best outcome.
